For Alexandra Pelosi, the brutal attack on her father earlier this year was a culmination of vitriol that had been building for decades. Her family’s name, she says, has been weaponized for years, turned into a curse word for Republicans.
**SNIP**
The bubbling political rhetoric that led to that moment is chronicled in a new documentary premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO. The film, “Pelosi in the House," directed and produced by Alexandra Pelosi, the youngest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's five children, follows the elder Pelosi’s career over three decades.
**SNIP**
“There’s a thread from the very first time they started taking ads out against Nancy Pelosi and turning her into a witch and turning our last name into a curse word. You can follow that thread 20 years later to my parents’ doorstep to my father getting attacked,” Alexandra Pelosi said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Pelosi’s film follows her mother, literally, through the Capitol and behind the scenes as she negotiates key votes for major pieces of legislation. It also depicts threats the family received, including a severed pig’s head that was delivered to the speaker's San Francisco home just days before the attack on the Capitol.
The camera was also rolling on Jan. 6 as the House speaker prepared for the certification of the presidential election and as rioters began smashing through the doors and windows, violently shoving past overwhelmed police officers, leaving many officers bruised and bloodied.
The film includes extended clips recorded as Pelosi and other congressional leaders are rushed out of the Capitol and evacuated to Fort McNair, a nearby Army base. It captures frantic leaders calling the defense secretary, attorney general, then-Vice President Mike Pence and other officials trying to get assistance to the Capitol.

There's police and security camera video of all that but you'll never get to see it. Watch this instead! Just another Hollywood script which edits out Paul wearing Nancy's purple silks.
What do you expect from any state-run propaganda? It will show Democrats being the innocent victims and Republicans as violent fascists. A pack of lies, basically.
I hope its as successful as Occasional Cortex’s blockbuster was last weekend.
I would rather watch AOC’s propaganda than Nazi Pelousy’s propaganda
Republicans had nothing to do with that guy whacking her husband with a hammer.
I hope it covers the part where Nancy was a Congressional mattress for the entire cabinets of the Clinton and the Obama administration.
Watching shxt come out of an azz for 90 minutes isn’t my idea of a movie.
If Nanzi can release a self-serving film with J6 footage from inside the Capital for her own vanity purposes, ALL of the video footage of that day from inside the Capital should be released to the public!
This is a crime that she can use the video for her own, personal propaganda!!
Where are the republicans on this!!!
when your family name has gone “vitriol that had been building for decades” - it is not necessary to look outward to point fingers at the problem.
having lived in San Franciscos North Beach next door to Chinatown, that would not be unusual, they have them for sell in the windows. I would walk to work and every morning outside the meat market a truck back door was open unloading full bodies of hanging pigs that had been gutted. Only the guts and squeal were missing.
A direct payment to a politician is called bribery and is illegal. However paying them for a “book deal”, or creating content for a cable service, or a painting (Hunter Biden’s) is perfectly legal.
Where are the republicans on this!!!

Where are the republicans on anything?
The Democrats were taking President Trump to court everyday even when he was enforcing laws that Congress passed. They did not win them all but it slowed down and in many cases stopped efforts to make the changes needed in our nation.
Word is from Rex Chapman’s neighborhood that he’s been stocking up on tissues and cigarettes for the big event.
I know people who will watch this and be sympathetic to Pelosi.
Thanks for reminding me again why I will never have HBO.
I was looking for a basketball game on TV last night. I saw this crap playing on two channels. Also, did you know that CBS has three consecutive FBI PR shows running on Tuesday night? State TV.
Well, at least her daughter thinks Nanzi is some kind of a friggin’ hero. Everyone else thinks she a dumbass ditzy broad.
