Jim Bourg, a reporter for Reuters, said he heard at least three rioters inside the Capitol on January 6 threaten to hang Mike Pence from a tree outside the Capitol. He said others talked about how they’d execute him. The words or chants are usually people sounding off but it makes them sound like lunatics. We can’t say much more about that. However, what we can say is the “gallows” erected outside the Capitol looks like an effigy.
Reporters likely knew that or they wouldn’t have doctored the photo to make the gallows look like a horribly menacing structure planned beforehand for a person.
This is the most common photo of the ‘gallows’, but it’s doctored. The lighting is specially manufactured for maximum gruesomeness:
The makeshift gallows at the Capitol on January 6th has been tied to people calling for the hanging of Vice President Pence. No one has actually tied the people chanting to this structure insofar as we can tell. If you know otherwise, let us know.
Taylor Hansen, writing on substack produced the unedited photos of the ‘gallows’ and it’s for you to decide if they were anything more than an effigy. An effigy is a way to express anger without harming anyone. It’s a structural representation used to express anger or hate. You may be a fan or not, but that’s what it is.
A SARCASTIC MESSAGE?
So no one would misunderstand the intentions of the owners, they posted a sign telling people how it was meant. It’s sarcastic art – a joke.
You don’t need a gallows to hang anyone and wouldn’t get very far trying to do it on the Capitol grounds. Journalists got a lot of clicks with their characterizations of horror.
But, as the J6 panel emphasizes the alleged connection, look at the ‘gallows’ yourself and decide how valid their concerns are. Is it serious?
DID TRUMP SAY TO HANG MIKE PENCE OR DEFEND IT?
At the same time, Jon Karl’s audio of an exchange with Donald Trump caused a lot of recriminations.
This is the exchange:
Asked if Trump was worried about Vice President Mike Pence’s safety during the Jan. 6 riot, Trump said, “I thought he was well-protected, and I had heard that he was in good shape.”
Karl reminded Trump that some of his supporters were calling for Pence to be killed.
“Well, the people were very angry,” Trump said.
“They said, ‘hang Mike Pence,’” Karl told Trump.
“It’s common sense, Jon. It’s common sense that you’re supposed to protect,” Trump said. “How can you, if you know a vote is fraudulent, right, how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress?”
On J6, a little over 100 members of Congress wanted a short delay to look into allegations of voter fraud. As for Donald Trump, he was and is convinced there was enough fraud for him to say the election was illegitimate. His comments followed four years of Democrats calling him an illegitimate president.
You decide if this is a smoking gun.
It’s old news rehashed for TV drama for a one-sided J6 committee out to make certain Donald Trump is not the candidate and his supporters have no sway.
Do the Democrats believe the worst of it? Many do. That is not to say the riot wasn’t very bad. It was. It should not be excused. They ruined it for everyone. But no one should lie either. Just report what happened.

At least 3 people? More like Three Hundred, dude! And, since WHEN and WHERE is a Noose Ever considered ART? Seriously? Put down the kool-aid, bro – you’re od’ing on it! If that crew of ‘Patriots’ had found Mike Pence…
Notice that Pence and others insist he did not have the power to challenge the election, but now congress is making a law negating that power.
So, without that, Kamala can choose the next President?
I am all for trying politicians who commit Treason and then hanging them in Public. There are an awful lot of US Politicians guilty of Treason. The 2020 Election Steal did not happen in a vacuum. It was a well planned, organized, and required insider politicians to execute along with Billionaire funding.
I think Pence is a RINO insider who knows a lot more about what happened than he has told us. With what was known by 6 January 2021, the Electoral College should have never been certified and the Election of President should have bee sent to the House in accordance with the Constitution. By not sending the election to the House, Pence has put a huge cloud over the legitimacy of the whole Federal Government since it is now clear the Election was Fraudulent and Stolen.
Notice that just after the illegitimate inauguration, Pence headed out to NH and Iowa. He then formed a campaign committee.
He has 0.00000% chance of being president.
True – but neither does your boy…
….. With what was known by January 4 2021:– that the election was fraudulent and had been stolen;– the Electoral College should absolutely not have been certified and the election of president should; thus; have been sent to the house. By treasonously endorsing the stolen election, Pence put his own ambition ahead of America — and cast a huge cloud over the legitimacy of our federal administration ….
Pence ought be arrested, charged, tried and:– if found guilty;– sentenced and the sentence executed.
With all due respect, we’re you born stupid?…maybe a recipient of a serious head injury that you don’t remember having occurred??….or, just a duplicitous moron?
Just asking.
Clear as mud!
All Pence had to do was resist the Communist democrats and get to the bottom of a rigged election.
We’re at the bottom, alright… Rudy-Poot just admitted he made it all up! These trials are gonna be FUN! TRE45ON!
