Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said during a House committee hearing on the insurrection that Trump welcomed chants from his supporters calling for Mike Pence to be hanged after Pence refused to stop the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election. According to testimony from former Trump advisers, Trump said, “Maybe our supporters have the right idea. Mike Pence deserves it.” Trump has denied ever saying that.

In 2023, Karen Pence said that she doesn’t think anybody “who puts himself above the Constitution” should be the president.
