She looks angry and afraid.

1. She looks scared and mad.

[Ohio Joe]

2. And Pence does not give one little shit about her...

She has every right to be angry.

[madaboutharry]

4. That is a stretch of a statement.

I don't have a charitable thought about Mike Pence, but to say that he "does not give one little shit about her" is flat out hyperbole and most certainly not true.

[Ohio Joe]

10. Well... I think Pence knew full well there could be violence on 1/6

He certainly knew TFG wanted him to overturn the election... He certainly knew about the rally nearby... He certainly knew Grassley was ready to jump in if he could not do his job... I think if he had a shred of decency, he would not have brought his family there that day.

[Bluethroughu]

13. I would have to agree with you.

He put party, over his country and family.

Anyone who had any decency or care would have went to the press and said the Loser lost...end the bullshit two days after the election.


Pence didn't do that, but didn't even state publicly that they were all trying to steal the election and planning a coup either.

Then didn't bother to talk until now, he's a coward like the rest of the Congress Republicans that went along with the lie and aided the coup.

They put us all at risk.

24. Maybe he brought his family to help protect them?

If they had been threatened, or he feared they'd be used for retribution against him, he might have felt they were safer with him? I've wondered about this. Remember that he didn't trust some members of the secret service (ie driver).

26. Interesting point. Nicolle Wallace and all were discussing this, but not with your take.

Wonder if we will ever know?

[Bev54]

32. Looks to me she has shown her Dad her phone with Trump's message on it

That would be enough to make her angry and scared. He was busy on the phone doing Trump's job for him. I dislike Pence a lot and think he is a milquetoast jackass but in this case, I think we can cut him some slack.

[vlyons]

5. You don't know that

You can't know what he is thinking from this picture.

[jonstl08]

9. Stop

You have no basis for saying that. I know people who are complete jackasses to others but treat their family like gold.

[Ohio Joe]

12. I'm not saying anything about his family...

It was Pence that knowingly brought his family into what he knew could be a violent situation. I think he is a POS for doing so and agree with his daughter's anger.

[milestogo]

17. How do you know they weren't fully aware of the situation and chose to be with him?

[AngryOldDem]

25. +1

It got extremely violent extremely quickly after the rally, which I doubt they knew the full details of when it was happening.

I don’t know what the OP has on Pence to believe Pence doesn’t “give a shit” about his family. Just being a part of Trumpworld isn’t enough evidence for me.

[milestogo]

15. Where is that coming from?

Do you know something about this father-daughter relationship?

[Ohio Joe]

18. I do not...

It is based on what I know of Pence and what he knew that day. It is simply my opinion.

[AngryOldDem]

21. Wasn't Jamie Raskin's daughter there too, that day?

I seem to recall him later saying that she told him she can never set foot in the Capitol again.

So would you say the same about Raskin?

Sometimes the partisanship needs to step back a little.

[Ohio Joe]

22. I have no idea about Raskin's daughter...

Do you thin Raskin knew what Pence did that day... Do you think Raskin had knowledge that there could be violence? I do not think he did but I do think Pence was very aware there could be violence. I see a big difference there.

[stopdiggin]

23. +1. And thank you for saying that

I know we sometimes just want to rant, but ...
Groundless assertions ...

28. An NPR story

https://www.npr.org/sections/trump-impeachment-trial-live-updates/2021/02/09/965932072/they-thought-they-were-going-to-die-raskin-recounts-familys-experience-on-jan-6

The reason they came with me that Wednesday, Jan. 6, was because they wanted to be together with me in the middle of a devastating week for our family," he said.

They asked him, he recounted, whether it would be safe to attend, given that then-President Donald Trump was calling on his supporters to protest in Washington.
"I told them — of course it should be safe. This is the capital."

After delivering a speech on the floor that day, Raskin's daughter and son-in-law returned to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office.

"By the time we learned about [the breach], it was too late. I couldn't get out there to be with him in that office, and all around me people were calling their wives and their husbands, their loved ones, to say goodbye," Raskin described.

Very reasonable assumptions. The Pences probably felt the same.

3. If any of you watched Ozark, she's throwing off some real Ruth Langmore vibes.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. "Are we going to fucking do this or not?"

[dawg]

16. +1

[Srkdqltr]

6. She looks like she is saying "Dad, are you kidding me? He said what?!"

[irisblue]

7. If the apricothellbeast is their partys' candidate in 2024, they will vote for the man who tried

To have Mike Pence killed.

[oioioi]

8. The look of love (picture without twitter link because twitter sucks and Musk)

"Yes Sir, thank you, she's right here actually. She asked me to send you her love and that she's looking forward to seeing Ivanka at tennis next week."

[Pantagruel]

11. Wait, Daddy?

You telling me the thugs outside attacking the Capitol, those are our base? They voted Republican?

[BlueJac]

19. That is the "what the fuck" look!

[Lars39]

20. I think the women in that family were more aware

of the danger they were in than Pence.

[dalton99a]

27. Kick

[oioioi]

30. "Very comfortable here, yes Sir - and my daughter asked me to thank you especially"

[Better Days Ahoy]

29. Looks like Pence is watching TDFG's video

Calling the rioters special people who he loves. Not one mention or call to Pence and his daughter about their safety. I hope she remembers this moment for the rest of her life. Turning point for her if she wasn't already there.

[IronLionZion]

31. The President wanted his supporters to kill the Vice President

so yeah, if someone wants to kill your Dad, it's scary and infuriating.

[herding cats]

33. In this one she looks angry/concerned. In the one below from earlier she shows raw fear. 👇

Charolette isn't all bad, she says she's more moderate than her parents. I imagine that was quite a wake up for her that day.
