GOP Rep. Greg Pence Votes Against Riot Commission To Investigate Mob That Wanted To Hang His Own Brother

The Washington Post reports:

Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.), the brother of former vice president Mike Pence, said in a statement Wednesday that he will vote against the formation of an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

At one point during the Jan. 6 attack, a group of rioters began chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!” as they streamed through the main door on the east side of the Capitol. But in his statement Wednesday, Greg Pence used the words “hanging” and “political execution” to describe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

From Rep. Greg Pence’s statement:

Hanging Judge Nancy Pelosi is hellbent on pushing her version of partisan justice complete with a hand-picked jury that will carry out her pre-determined political execution of Donald Trump before law enforcement officials have completed their investigation

According to reports from the day, Greg Pence fled the mob in the company of his brother and the vice presidential Secret Service detail.
