Trump tweets against Pence at 2:24pm as rioters chant to hang Mike Pence inside Capitol

As the January 6 Capitol attack unfolded and rioters had breached the building, President Trump tweeted at 2:24pm: "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution." Footage shows rioters reading the tweet aloud as crowds broke into chants of "Hang Mike Pence!" A gallows with a noose had been erected outside the Capitol. White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified before the Jan. 6 committee that Trump said the word "hang" while watching the chants on TV, and that Trump told aides: "Maybe our supporters have the right idea. Mike Pence deserves it." Pence was evacuated and was barely missed by the rioters. Trump refused to call off the attack for more than three hours after this tweet.
