Nancy Pelosi

The Democratic House speaker said she'd "go to jail and be happy".

I’m going to punch him out, I’m going to go to jail and I’m going to be happy.” One could be a higher turnout of female voters following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe vs Wade, the judgement which ensure the right to an abortion. Rioters yelled “bring her out” in apparent reference to Pelosi, with supporters of Trump also erecting a gallows outside and chanting “hang Mike Pence”. “I hope he comes, I’m going to punch him out ... Trump had held a ‘Save America’ rally in the US capital earlier that day, repeatedly urging his supporters to “fight”. Trump falsely claimed that the election was fraudulent, bringing and losing numerous legal challenges, and urged his Vice-President Mike Pence to block the certification of the results – something he had no power to do.

In footage taken by her daughter during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Pelosi appeared calm, focused and pragmatic under unthinkable circumstances.

While the president of the United States stood down, she stood up. While pro-Trump rioters tried to derail the government, she tried to keep it on track. It was exactly what made the rioters hate her and exactly what the country needed. But Pelosi would not allow the horror of the situation to impact the decorum with which she would address it. Schumer (D-N.Y.), talking on the phone with Vice President Mike Pence, receiving security briefings and, above all else, strategizing about how to make this all stop. One is about having the will to win at all costs. She knew it would “take time.” She was not making an empty, churlish demand for justice, now. Pelosi was not giving a televised campaign speech behind a lectern; she was huddling with confidants about how to continue with their work amid the greatest domestic assault on the Capitol in the history of the country. The behind-the-scenes footage, shot by Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra, is a striking study in professional composure under outrageous circumstances.

The message is clear: Trump was – and is – concerned only about himself. Even as the situation turned more dire and Pence came within feet – literally – of rioters, Trump never reached out to check on his vice president once the violence broke out. Pelosi didn’t have any sort of close relationship with Pence but, in a moment of crisis, was concerned for his well-being. Pence was simply a means to his desired end. USA demands the truth!” It’s a simple gesture, yes.

All the while Donald Trump sat mesmerized by the television in the White House dining room. As committee member Jamie Raskin spelled out, referring to Pelosi ...

The committee intercut scenes of Pelosi and Chuck Schumer coping with the crisis with shots of rioters baying for Pelosi to be brought out and delivered to the mob along with Mike Pence. Why shouldn’t that work as well for the truth as for the Big Lie? These scenes made a fitting finale (if it really is the finale) to the committee’s hearings. A president needs to look like a forceful leader for the camera, but a speaker of the house must be the real thing behind the scenes. The video—recorded by documentarian Alexandra Pelosi, the speaker’s daughter—captures the response of congressional leaders as they left the building for a secure location, mobilizing to protect Capitol staff and continuing the business of the day: the certification of the 2020 Electoral College votes that made Joe Biden president. 6, footage of which was televised for the first time at a Jan.

Scalise spokesman Lauren Fine said Scalise “was referring to what he’s asked all along, which is why wasn’t the National Guard called prior to the day of.” “Was Speaker Pelosi involved in the decision to delay the National Guard assistance on January 6th?” he asked suggestively. For the purposes of the Republicans’ claims and suggestions, though, what matters is when Pelosi was consulted. Nehls (R-Tex.) said, “The House sergeant-at-arms answers to Nancy Pelosi, and it’s been suggested the day of January 6th, he was waiting for Speaker Pelosi’s approval before calling in the National Guard.” Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) offered perhaps the most direct claim: “We also know that on January 6th, Nancy Pelosi was passed a note by the sergeant-at-arms, her political appointee, asking for her permission to bring in the National Guard.

Pelosi asks that the situation be treated as though the Pentagon or the White House were under siege.
