The collective group of individuals who stormed the U.S. Capitol on the 6th are additionally responsible for death threats against the vice president. Video footage shows the group breaching Capitol Hill while also chanting “hang Pence.”
Shortly after Twitter banned President Trump from Twitter over concerns about incitement of violence, “hang Pence” trended. After Twitter became aware of this matter, the company issued a block to stop this message from trending on their platform.
Where is the U.S. Secret Service?
Due to the nature of threats against Pence, some Americans are questioning whether or not Secret Service is also aware.
On Saturday, Secret Service spoke with Fox News and confirmed that they are very much aware of the death threats waged against the vice president. Secret Service additionally informed that they take seriously all threats against individuals under their protection.
Time will tell whether or not additional action follows against those who have threatened the current vice president.
