Video of Pelosi Shows Her Threatening To “Punch Out” Trump
(TheRedWire.com) – On Thursday, October 13, the House January 6 Select Committee held what many believed was its last hearing. A video clip shot during the January 6 Capitol Hill Riot played at the beginning of the hearing showed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) threatening to “punch out” the president.
Initially, Pelosi sat in her office and watched Trump speaking at the “Save America” rally ahead of the riot, as shown in the short video clip. She stated the president’s actions were “dangerous” and said if he came to the Capitol building, “we’re going to the White House.” As she watched the crowd start to make its way to the Capitol, her chief of staff told the Speaker the Secret Service was discouraging the president from joining them over protection concerns. Pelosi said if he came, she would “punch him out.”

The Speaker added she had been waiting for such a moment. Pelosi said she knew she would go to jail but noted she would be happy. In addition, the video caught her on a call with then-Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam while she sheltered with Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The Speaker stated people were breaking the law at the “instigation of the President of the United States.”
