Yup, there's videos of people there that day threatening harm to him or directly saying to hang him, and many chanting to bring him out (which prob would have ended very badly), since he didn't listen to Trump and do what he legally
could not do in Trump's favor.
There WAS that gallows and noose constructed on the Capitol grounds that day... Some sign posted on it seen in wider shots stated "this is art," but that matters little if it helps get ideas in people's heads and is potentially functional. "Art" is just as easily an excuse in that case as someone being an asshole to you and then excuses it as "joking."
Still amazes me that Pence continued to bow down later and never really spoke out, tiptoeing delicately around with what little he dared say, despite the real threat to his own life. What, afraid that the voters you like to appeal to, but now want to hang you, won't support you anymore if you say too much? That's like some crazy kind of political Stockholm syndrome...
