I'm unfamiliar, can someone fill me in
January 6th insurrectionists built gallows on the Capitol lawn.
After Mike Pence did the bare-minimum in fulfilling his constitutional duties by affirming the election results, the protesters who thought he'd follow the plan began chanting, "Hang Mike Pence."
Pence nearly got murdered on January 6th

2:20 Trump speach
5:17 Trump tweet followed by mob chanting "hang Mike Pence" with a gallows setup on the lawn.
At this point, protestors have already breached the capital and entered the building.
Congress evacuated, and Mike Pence was waiting with Secret Service outside of his car. Secret service wanted him in the car, but he refused on the grounds that they would evacuate him off site, and he felt it was important to stay.
