Over the weekend, more and more details have come out about the attempted putsch at the Capitol building last Wednesday, each more alarming than the last. It turns out the mob very nearly made it into the Senate chamber before the members had been evacuated, and was one hastily-assembled barricade away from smashing into the House chamber. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Vice President Pence were in much more serious danger than it initially seemed — particularly Pence, because President Trump encouraged the mob to attack him as they were storming the Capitol.
