Pelosi On J6: “I Hope [Trump] Comes. I’m Gonna Punch Him Out! This Is My Moment.”

In new exclusive January 6th footage obtained by CNN, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi can be heard making violent threats against then-President Donald Trump in the presence of her aides. CNN says the video was captured by Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, who is also a documentary filmmaker.

In the video, which also shows the Speaker’s movements while being evacuated from the Capitol, Nancy Pelosi was informed that Trump was not planning to come to the Capitol due to Secret Service’s lack of confidence in being able to protect him there. (Side note, Pelosi’s Chief of Staff seemingly knew before Trump that the Secret Service wouldn’t be taking him to Capitol Hill, which begs interesting timeline questions.) Pelosi responds,

“I hope he comes. I’m gonna punch him out! This is my moment. I’ve been waiting for this—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.”

Well, no wonder she didn’t want the National Guard involved. No wonder she didn’t coordinate with them to quell the rising tensions and prevent possible violence. She WANTED the violence. Almost seems like it was part of the plan. In fact, she wanted to PARTICIPATE in the violence. She WANTED Donald Trump to come to the Capitol grounds with the other protesters so she could “punch him out.” She actually felt like this was her “moment.” She said she’d “been waiting for this.” Planning it, perhaps? But she didn’t get her moment to punch Trump like she hoped, so instead we got the sham J6 witch-hunt trials.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Nancy Pelosi had her filmmaker daughter and her crew follow her around on J6 while also rejecting calls for increased security around the Capitol?
