All of the people there were trying to assassinate the VP? How come no one's been charged for assassination attempt?

"According to an F.B.I. affidavit the panel highlighted ... a government informant said that members of the far-right militant group the Proud Boys told him they would have killed Pence 'if given the chance.' The rioters on January 6th almost had that chance, coming within forty feet of the Vice-President as he fled to safety."

Sure seemed like it. All those people chanting to kill the VP? Sure seems like it.

Corruption? Doesn't change the facts. They were trying to kill the VP.

Pretend what you want, there were 1500+ that day that certain people said were just tourists.

It was a riot and attack on the capitol in support of an attempt to overturn a legitimate election result. Isn't that bad enough? Why do you have to lie and claim that it was an assassination attempt on Mike Pence?

I didn't make the claim. They made that claim when they tried. On camera. For the world to see.
