'Hang them all': January 6th committee members target of violent rhetoric on right-wing social media platforms
CNN
Calls for violence against members of the January 6th committee are circulating on some of the same online platforms that helped fuel the lies that led to the insurrection, a new analysis has found.
Users on these platforms are openly calling for the execution of committee members, with Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney appearing to be a specific target. Calls for former Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged that were chanted throughout Washington DC on January 6th continue to be echoed online.
Determining what is just rhetoric and what might be an active threat is a challenge for law enforcement.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
