On May 4th, former Vice President Mike Pence received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for, per the award, “putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021.”

This is a reference to Pence’s refusal to go along with Donald Trump’s attempts to retain power after his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

On that day, gallows were elected on the National Mall, with rioters yelling “hang Mike Pence.”
