Members of then-Vice President Mike Pence's security detail were calling their loved ones to "say goodbye" as violence escalated at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a former White House security official told the January 6 committee in testimony played on Thursday evening.
"The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives. There was a lot of yelling, a lot of very personal calls over the radio, so it was disturbing. I don't like talking about it," the official, who was unnamed for security purposes, told the committee.
"But there were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth,"

That’s difficult to believe. Hard to believe the Dims left the capitol completely unsecure from the antifa goons and fbi “consultants.”

These "grown ups" should actually talk with citizens from Seattle, Portland etc to understand what real danger is all about. There were people murdered in those cities. These fearful people should also be reminded that 2 UNARMED women were murdered Jan 6 - one was shot to death and the other was beaten to death in the tunnels. Give me a break, I really don't want to hear how you thought you were in danger when citizens where there just to ask to look into the questions about voter irregularity. They couldn't be hiding with AOC because she wasn't even there but I'm sure they were hiding. What a bunch of cowards.

Gee. If I were Pence or anyone dependent on this team for his/her "security detail," I'd be kinda ticked that they were busy calling their loved ones to say goodbye as opposed to doing their job.
And of course, they're unnamed .

Horse hockey! ! When you are working security for the VP of the USA, you ARE NOT on the phone calling loved ones. You are protecting the VP and that is ALL you are doing. If they were calling loved ones, they should be fired and blacklisted.

MORE hear say...the disguised voice guy wasn't there with Pence, is relating what he "interpreted" hearing over radios...What SECURITY person would be using official security radios to contact "Personal Loved ones" in times of confusion, distress and potential danger? Were the loved ones also employed in the tactical communication web of National Security at the capitol?
IF this is to be believed his "security" detail is a bunch on insecure shrinking violets...to the best of my knowledge, from the actual timelnes/locations not a single "Protestor" was ever seen by the Pence posse, never got near them.
"If we stay here much longer we may lose the ability to leave"...oh really...Pence has stated that HE made the call.."I am NOT getting in that car!"
If there were two hours of panicked "OMG we're All gonna DIE!" radio messages, why was only ONE played on the Primetime Televised presentation?
"I don't like talking about it,"...yeah, but here are are...tryin' to be a star.

...the official, who was unnamed for security purposes, told the committee.
That is everything you need to know in 1/2 of a sentence!!!
I guess Pence's cowardice and uselessness rubbed off on his security detail if any of this is even remotely true...

As soon as you read "unnamed sources" you can throw out the story. It's trash.

Secret Service people carry automatic weapons. The January 6th protesters carried signs.

But then, they found out the violence was from the Capitol Police, as an unarmed protester was shot.
