Washington, May 26 (RHC)-- In Washington, DC on Capitol Hill, the January 6 Select Committee has heard testimony indicating that then-President Donald Trump — after rioters who swarmed the Capitol began chanting “Hang Mike Pence” — expressed support for lynching his vice president, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The White House chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, was in the dining room off the Oval Office with Trump at one point during last year’s Capitol attack, the committee has been told.  Meadows then left the dining room and informed other people nearby that Trump had signaled a positive view of the prospect of hanging the vice president, the panel heard.

Meadows’ account as it was described to the committee came after some members of the mob converging on the Capitol had broken into chants of “Hang Mike Pence!” Those chants were a reaction to Pence’s decision to accept electoral votes that indicated Joe Biden had won the presidency.

Two of the people who spoke for the news story said the committee has heard testimony on this topic from more than one person.  All three people spoke on condition of anonymity.

    Fortunately, the Orange Man, Donald "Quack-Quack" Trump, has less than a snowball's chance in Hell of returning to the US Presidency. However, his antics continue to generate entertainment for the masses.
