Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaks to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about the presidential election. "This is not a normal election where you want to win and if you don't, you cooperate and do the best you can for the country and hope to win the next time. This is something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!" Pelosi said about former President Trump. Video at link

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump is a dangerous and evil person.Pelosi said, “It was a total manifesto of lies, and that’s what we saw the other night, which must be rejected, as well as his candidacy. One that stood out was abouJanuary 6th. This man would not send the National Guard. The Republicans know that. We were asking for it, begging for it to the Secretary of Defense and the president, of course, is the ultimate Commander-in-chief and he would not send it. For him to go on TV and lie...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump likely has dementia. Host Dana Bash said, “Several newspaper editorial boards, or just simply calling for Biden to step decide for the good of the country. Tom Friedman, a friend of President Biden’s, wrote the following. He wrote ‘Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for reelection if he insists on running and he loses to Trump, Biden and his family and his staff and party members who enabled him will not be able to show their...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she isn’t calling for President Biden to step down when asked about calls from Democrats for the president to do so in the wake of his negatively-reviewed presidential debate performance. “I don’t know who’s doing that,” Pelosi said of the calls for Biden to step aside and make room for someone new to enter the race against former President Trump, according to MSNBC, in an audio clip played on anchor Ali Velshi’s show Saturday. “I’m not doing it,” Pelosi said in the clip. Biden’s debate performance, during which he had a raspy voice...

Former House Speaker Pelosi said on Friday that former President Trump is "sicker" than she thought when asked about President Biden's debate performance. Pelosi initially ignored reporters' questions about Biden's debate performance, which has been heavily criticized by political analysts and Democratic commentators.

House Democrats spent their Friday morning huddling on the floor in hushed, anguished conversations about President Joe Biden's debate performance. "It was a f------ disaster," one member said, adding that a lot of members believe Biden should suspend his campaign. "If something happens it has to happen in the next couple of days," another House Democrat told ABC News, adding that the only House lawmaker who may be capable of getting through to Biden is Nancy Pelosi, "Catholic to Catholic."

Gavin Newsom will be the first Democrat in more than a century to succeed another Democrat as governor and the succession also marks a big generational transition in California politics. A long-dominant geriatric quartet from the San Francisco Bay Area – Gov. Jerry Brown, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – has been slowly ceding power to younger political strivers. Moreover, Newsom is succeeding someone who could be considered his quasi-uncle, since his inauguration continues the decades-long saga of four San Francisco families intertwined by blood, by marriage, by money, by culture and, of course,...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) distanced themselves from President Joe Biden Friday after a disastrous debate performance which spurred key Democrat elected officials and power brokers to question Biden’s ability to win in November. The current and previous leaders, respectively, of House Democrats, Jeffries and Pelosi have raised and spent millions to strip the majority from Republicans in November – money and effort which could be wasted if Biden drags down the rest of the Democratic ticket and Donald Trump maintains his dominance in the polls. Jeffries refused to comment on the debate...

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lambasted the Supreme Court amid its ethics controversies, raising the question of whether Chief Justice John Roberts has “gone rogue.” Asked in an interview on CNN whether she has confidence in the high court, Pelosi said, “No.” “I think they’ve gone rogue,” she replied. “It’s most unfortunate.” “But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices … what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak? Or, did he go rogue? I don’t know,” Pelosi added. The Supreme Court has faced increased scrutiny over the past year following a series of reports detailing...

The man who attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was convicted by a jury in California on Friday on five charges. In May, David DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a federal judge after being convicted by a jury in November 2023 of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer at the Pelosis’ home in California. DePape was found guilty of “aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, threats against an elected official or their family, and preventing or dissuading a witness by force or threat,” San Francisco District Attorney Brooke...

In sword fighting, as in politics, one meets “the feint,” a deceptive move intended to misdirect, cause an overreaction, distraction, opening, false plunge, or parry. In his epic series Dune, Frank Herbert refers to “feints within feints within feints.” The January 6th investigative Committee is giving Herbert a run for his money, “feints within feints within feints.” Now, we know. The US House Administration Committee has an Oversight Subcommittee. That investigative body is chaired by Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), who – having met with him – is a thoughtful, methodical, quintessential investigator. Not Christy’s Poirot, he is unglamorous, yet unremitting in...

Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.

In a video shot by her daughter Alexandra on January 6, 2021, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) is seen saying "I take responsibility for failing to have a better security plan for the Capitol complex. Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war." Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund pointed out that "Speaker Pelosi had the authority to call in the National Guard. President Trump had previously approved using the National Guard. I explicitly requested National Guard support multiple times before January 6, and repeatedly for 71...

Nancy Pelosi is losing it. The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.Former...

What was so curious about the lack of precautions that morning [Jan6] is that the Capitol had just experienced the violence outside of the White House in the Lafayette Park protests.To this day, the media and many members continue to repeat false accounts of the Lafayette Park. Many still have stories posted that claim that Lafayette Park was cleared for Trump to hold a photo op in front of a church. I discussed those accounts in testimony before Congress and in columns on the clearing of the Lafayette Park area. NPR still has a story on its website entitled “Peaceful...

For more than three years, Democrats, the news media, and a fair share of Republicans have insisted Donald Trump was solely responsible for security failures at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Never mind he already had warned of potential violence—not at the hands of his supporters but by BLM and antifa thugs who tried to burn down the nation’s capital for weeks after George Floyd overdosed in May 2020 then attacked pro-Trump demonstrators on the streets of D.C. during “Stop the Steal” events in November and December 2020—and urged deployment of the National Guard for that day. Never mind...

On Monday night Chief Steven Sund responded to the video released earlier on Monday by the Oversight Subcommittee. Officer Sund slammed Pelosi for her statement on J6 for the cameras saying she was “surprised” the National Guard was not at the US Capitol after she denied President Trump’s request to have National Guard at the Capitol that day! Officer Steven Sund: Pelosi was surprised we didn’t have National Guard on Jan6?? I was denied National Guard support multiple times before January 6, and repeatedly for 71 minutes ON January 6. MY STORY HASN’T CHANGED!

In a recent MSNBC interview, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi dismissed the explosive new video that revealed her admitting she refused to secure the Capitol on January 6th. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that, as Pelosi fled the Capitol amid the chaos, she grilled her top staffer regarding the situation. “You’re going to ask me — in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff — ‘should we call … the National Guard?’” Pelosi incredulously asked her chief of staff, Terri McCullough, while being escorted to Fort McNair. “Why weren’t the National Guard there...

There's a bombshell video that has just been released by House GOP investigators about what former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said as she was leaving the Capitol after the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021. In it, Pelosi takes responsibility for the failure to have adequate security in the place at the Capitol to deal with the riot. “We have responsibility, Terri," Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.” Pelosi also said: “You’re going...

In the wake of newly released video of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) acknowledging she should have asked for a National Guard presence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the former House Speaker declared Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former “Republicans have always tried to wrap themselves in the flag while they denigrate it.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “If this campaign is waged around big things like the flag, which Trump supporters denigrated on the day of the insurrection when they held it upside down, an upside down flag, also on the property, the Virginia property of Supreme Court...
