Imagine her being your therapist. You'd leave the room 3 times as mental than you went in
FFS just read elsewhere the events and getting tased a bunch of times led to him having a small heart attack.
If you've seen other pics of him he looks quite fit/healthy
Definitely. The security immediately around Pence was Secret Service not Capitol police.
The Secret Service wouldn't have had any qualms with opening fire on any of those who came within a few yards of Pence.
The fallout would have been huge.
There are quite a few Republican members of Congress that should be getting their collars felt during this investigation.
The more I think about it...
If that mob had reached Pence and in any way tried to interfere with him, the likelihood of Trump being in office today would be very slim.
An armed mob, incited by the President, attacking his own VP would have been tantamount to instigating a Civil-War or at least large scale civil unrest.

Not to mention this detail from the WP article
“They left the office for a secure room in the Capitol complex. The evacuation route they took is unknown. A group of snipers on the counter-assault team that travels with Pence would have scoped out the path and ensured it was clear.”
You presumably don’t get on a sniper protective detail for the VP unless you have shown you are effective at your role.
