The Home committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol confirmed Thursday how a tweet by means of then-President Donald Trump incited a mob that was once calling for the execution of then-Vice President Mike Pence.

The video was shown right through the committee’s primetime listening to, which featured opening statements by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Liz Cheney (R-WY), the chairman and ranking member, respectively. It additionally included video footage of testimonies earlier than the committee and from the Jan. 6 attack.

“Surveillance photos shows Pence used to be faraway from the Senate at 2:14 p.m,” said Newsweek. “Ten minutes later, a tweet from Trump’s now-banned account perceived to counsel—falsely—that Pence can have overturned the election end in his function as presiding officer of the Senate.”

“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should were done to offer protection to our U . s . a . and our Structure, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of details, now not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they had been asked to up to now certify. USA calls for the truth,” tweeted Trump.

The committee confirmed video of a person using a megaphone quoting the tweet. It then presentations every other man using a megaphone and chanting, “Carry out Pence!”

The video then shows a crowd of mobsters chanting “Grasp Mike Pence” and an image of a gallows.

Right through her opening remark, Cheney published that Trump was sympathetic to the chants to hang Pence.

“You are going to hear testimony that ‘the president didn’t really need to put the rest out’ calling off the rebel or asking his supporters to leave,” she stated. “You will hear the President Trump was yelling and ‘in reality angry’ at advisors who advised him he wanted to be doing one thing extra.”
