language. get him! get him! get these motherfuckers! we re coming through! we re coming through! ah! ah! for nearly a year, the january-6th committee has been trying to piece together how this happened, different vantage points, who was involved, from the bottom to the top? and last night, they up veiled some new video of its own and concerning findings. and it s very first public hearing. president trump was yelling and, quote, really angry at advisers who told him he needed to be doing something more. and aware of the riot rioters chance to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it. wow. wow. what the american people deserve are answers and information and the truth. and of course, the people who fought to defend our capitol that day well, they deserve it, as well. and among them, former d.c. metropolitan police officer, mike fanone, who is now a cnn law enforcemen
