WATCH: Proud Boys would have killed Pence if they found him, Rep. Aguilar says, citing informant

[Rhiannon12866]

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said on June 16 that a court filing indicated that an informant from the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, would have killed former Vice President Mike Pence during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, if given the chance.

The informant “said that anyone they got their hands on they would've killed, including [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi.”

As Pence was being evacuated, he and his entourage came within 40 feet of the rioters, Aguilar said.

Greg Jacob, Pence’s lawyer, said he was unaware at the time at how close rioters were to the vice president during the Capitol attack.

“I could hear the rioters in the building while we moved, but I do not think I was aware that they were as close as that,” Jacob said.

The hearing was the third of several planned by the Jan. 6 committee that focused on Trump’s efforts to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to reject Congress' official count of Electoral College votes on the day of the attack. In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day. The committee postponed a hearing scheduled for June 15 that was meant to focus on Trump's efforts to replace Attorney General Bill Barr, who did not support his claims of voter fraud after the election. - PBS NewsHour - Aired on 06/16/2022.

3. Would Faux and Repubs take the committee seriously if an elected official had been killed?

I am glad no elected officials were physically harmed during the insurrection; but I wonder if an elected official had been killed, if the right half of this country would not blowing off the committee as a partisan witch hunt.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Aren't they still doing that?

They regard Liz Cheney as a "traitor" and Kinzinger isn't running for reelection.
