Trump impeachment: new footage shows Mike Pence and Mitt Romney fleeing Capitol attack

New video shown during the second impeachment trial for Donald Trump has revealed Capitol police officer Eugene Goodman leading Senator Mitt Romney away from the rioters as well as the evacuation of former vice-president Mike Pence.

Representative Stacey Plaskett presented the previously unreleased security footage from the 6 January Capitol breach documenting Romney's close call as well as Pence and his family's escape as rioters chanted ‘hang Mike Pence’

I didn’t think it was possible but this video shows me that this incident is worse than I thought.

[KA-eusy]

Imagine if they found Pence. Chilling.

[lopici]

These are their own supporters they're running from.

Just looking at Sen. Romney turning around to run. I mean no politics in my comment but the only time I've seen politicians run for safety is in the movies. The only thing I've experienced that can be seen as a "security threat" in my entire life was going through a near 3 hour lockdown of my high school like 6 years ago when some dude with a machete and an M16 was roaming around the school. It was the quietest and darkest 3 hours of my life and thankfully police officers arrived and took care of everything.

Kudos to the police officers who did their duty. And RIP to those who who died doing their duty to protect.

Serious ancient Rome vibes in America nowadays

Those secret service agents wouldn't have hesitated to gun any potential threat down.

[saylorwerthington]

Geeeez this is terrifying. How anybody is still defending Trump in all this is insane.

[ThatLadyDray]

Lay it all out Stacey. Every bit so it fully sinks in.

[d-d.nashton-report]

So how can America now tell d world what to do. What a shame

[KA-eusy]

I don't understand why Secret Service didn't get Mike Pence to safety much much earlier as soon as mob crossed 1st set of safety barriers outside. What were they waiting for?

[LeonaBundy]

Imagine YOUR OWN VICE PRESIDENT is running for his life and trump STILL took 2 hours to say a word!

[rogerlane]

lol two mike pence's escorted down the stairs? No, that was Eminem The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up

[strenyaletus]

Is that a Mike Pence body double behind him?

[radiospines]

Never mind the video ... who is her tailor?
Came here dressed to the nines

[TheJeweledBird]

Almost three years later and this still gives me chills. It also makes me angry at the GOP House and Senate members who claim the insurrection was just a sightseeing tour.

[loganstolberg]

I’m glad Mike Pence and Mitt Romney made it out safe.

[prazcuray]

How could the GOP be able to say they support law and order and still look themselves in the mirror, they are pathetic

[CausticLemons]

Really hoping for some proper Justice here. Now is not the time for mercy, now is the time for law and order. Fight corruption and get our house in order!

[dicedsghq]

this day and jan. 20 were the only days where i really defended pence on anything and wished him well

[jonm]

Has anyone else noticed Mike Pence's body double in the video?
