NYT:
WASHINGTON — He started the day with a prayer.
Vice President Mike Pence, preparing to withstand the final stage of a relentless campaign by President Donald J. Trump to force him to illegally try to overturn the results of the 2020 election, began Jan. 6, 2021, surrounded by aides at his official residence at the Naval Observatory, asking God for guidance.
The group was expecting a difficult day. But what followed over the next 12 hours was more harrowing than they imagined.
An angry mob with baseball bats and pepper spray chanting “hang Mike Pence” came within 40 feet of the vice president. Mr. Pence’s Secret Service detail had to hustle him to safety and hold him for nearly five hours in the bowels of the Capitol. Mr. Trump called Mr. Pence a “wimp” and worse in a coarse and abusive call that morning from the Oval Office, Mr. Trump’s daughter and former White House aides testified.
Remember when Democrats attacked the White House in 2020 and Trump was evacuated by the secret service and every major news organization and Democrat made fun of Trump for leaving?
Of course you don't. Because you're a "rube" who only believes what you're told to believe and "every major news organization" ignored the story because the optics were bad.
