New footage from an upcoming HBO documentary shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowing to punch former President Trump if he came to the Capitol on Jan. 6, proclaiming that she would be happy to go to jail for doing so.

Pelosi was watching as Trump gave the now-famous “Stop the Steal” speech in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2021, when she made the comment.
CNN has obtained footage from the leftist documentary, lionizing Pelosi while showing her boasting that she would love to take a swing at the former president. The clip seems to have been strategically released before the midterm elections and smacks of propaganda aired for maximum political effect.
As Trump’s “Save America” speech concluded and protesters started heading to the Capitol where a riot would take place over the certification of the 2020 election results, Pelosi was being prepped by aides and acting tough for the cameras that just happened to be filming her.
Pelosi’s daughter and filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi shot the video according to CNN. It was aired exclusively on the leftist network Thursday night.

So in the middle of an “ insurrection” they had the foresight to video her?

“Hundreds of thousands of American patriots are committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious republic,” Trump stated on television during his speech while Pelosi and her team watched that day. “We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there is theft involved.”
“It’s very dangerous what he’s doing,” a voice off-camera can be heard telling the Speaker. “He’s getting all these people to show up and protest, Stop the Steal. He’s putting all these crazy ideas in their head.”
“Tell him, if he comes here, we’re going to the White House,” Pelosi laughed.
One of Pelosi’s aides tells her in the video that the Secret Service has dissuaded Trump from appearing at the Capitol because of safety concerns.
Promoting violence against a sitting President! The tolerant left huh?

“They told him they don’t have the resources to protect him here,” the aide informed Pelosi. “So at the moment, he is not coming. But that could change.”
“I hope he comes,” Pelosi responded. “I want to punch him out.”
“Oh wow, I would pay to see that,” the sycophant aide smilingly told the Speaker.
“I’ve been waiting for this,” Pelosi asserted. “For trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I’m gonna punch him out, and I’m gonna go to jail, and I’m gonna be happy.”
As usual leftist threatening violence… but will scream and cry at the first sign of trouble.
It’s like a bully that’ll talk shit but crys to the teacher. Or a Karen calling the cops if you ever say anything back..

CNN made a big deal out of the fact that the call took place in Pelosi’s conference room that was ransacked just a few hours later by Trump supporters.
The footage followed Pelosi as she evacuated from the building while constantly making phone calls to request help to secure the Capitol and continue the election certification process.
As she evacuated the Capitol, Pelosi is seen asking staffers if the National Guard had been called out and warned, “If they stop the proceedings, they will have succeeded in stopping the validation of the president of the United States … We will have totally failed.”
Snippets of the footage were used by the Jan. 6 inquisition. During that hearing, which will probably be its last one, the committee voted unanimously to subpoena Trump for documents and testimony. The former president responded that he would love to testify in front of the committee, according to Fox News.
Republicans continue their attacks on our democracy: making it harder to vote, while helping extreme MAGA politicians invent a basis to overturn the results of elections they don’t like.
Meanwhile, @HouseDemocrats will always defend democracy #ForThePeople.— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) October 13, 2022
Trump posted a response on Truth Social to the development.
“Why didn’t Crazy Nancy Pelosi call out the ‘troops’ before January 6th, which I strongly recommended that she do,” he wrote. “It was her responsibility, but she ‘didn’t like the look.’ Crazy Nancy failed the American People!”
Democrats responding to forty year high inflation by voting to subpoena Donald Trump in a two year old January 6th investigation 26 days before a midterm election is one of the most breathtakingly tone deaf political moves I’ve ever seen.

“The Unselect Committee knowingly failed to examine the massive voter fraud which took place during the 2020 Presidential Election – The reason for what took place on January 6th,” he continued.
“Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago? Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the Committee is a total “BUST” that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly – A laughing stock all over the World?” Trump concluded.
