Never-before-seen footage released by the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other lawmakers attempting to quell the violence of Jan. 6, 2021 - with Pelosi at one point complaining of Trump supporters defecating in the halls of Congress.
The video was meant to contrast the frantic activity of House and Senate leaders with the inaction of then-President Donald Trump, who reportedly watched the chaos unfold for hours on television at the White House.
“We have got to get … finish the proceedings or else they will have a complete victory,” Pelosi tells someone over the phone as she is escorted to a secure location from the House floor after rioters disrupted the official count of 2020 electoral votes.
The House speaker is then seen huddled in a small room with Reps. James Clyburn (D-SC), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and other others as she plots aloud on how to resume House business.
This previously unseen footage shows Congressional leaders - both Republicans and Democrats - as they were taken to a secure location during the January riot.
“There has to be some way we can maintain the sense that people have, that there’s some security, or some confidence, that government can function and that you can elect the President of the United States,” Pelosi says, after which she is informed that everybody on the House floor is putting on gas masks.
“Can you believe this?” a dumbfound Pelosi says.
The nearly seven-minute-long video is spliced with footage of the rioters attacking law enforcement officers and breaking into the Capitol, and it is time stamped as the events unfold.

That is a remarkably strange statement and admission of weakness on her part.
They media had Sullivan filming there that day, too.
This website needs a “like” button for posts like yours!
OK, I was wrong—it’s not her daughters. Possibly Andrea Bocelli’s security people:
She wants to pretend she is Tuscany Italian heritage.
She and her whole family are Sicilian Mafia material, baby.
It offends to see Pelousi’s name anywhere NEAR BOCELLI’S NAME. It’s a mortal sin.
That’s not cleavage...THAT’S A CAVERN.
SO unsightly. UGH!
LOL!
Apparently, the Nan of San Fran is more into botox and tightening her facial features (to no avail) than that of
cosmetic surgery on anything below her neck. She shows little
shame stepping out like that. Just so unprofessional for a
supposed Speaker of the House. We’ve had putrid speakers, but this one takes the cake. Are there volunteer spelunkers in the area? This is begging for additional exploration.
Who could you get willing to “explore?”
She is a walking, talking DISASTER.
Volunteers? I know of none (never presuming I could call
them by name.)
As to disaster... a sink hole filled with water balloons (or beach balls). This is far more embarrassing than the time
she took a knee on the House floor (in heels) and found she
needed help to stand on her own two feet again.
Well, the stupid broad does make for laughter on occasion.
Don’t we just love her prissy little steps as she walks through the halls and up to the mic?
If you are a Carol Burnett fan, she does a character who is called ...Mrs. Wiggins.
Mrs. Wiggins is an airhead and walks with her butt sticking out and takes short steps...Carol is really funny doing her.
She walks almost exactly the way Nasty walks. Nan is just as laugh worthy, except she is not trying to be funny.
I am not a mean person, but I DID laugh the time she couldn’t get up from the kneeling position. Shows how stupid she is.
If you’re over fifty you never try something like that and she did it with many many eyes watching.
Idiot.
They originally stated that President Trump was in NYC watching cctv and this post states he was watching from the White House close to the supposedriot. Would the SS let him be at the White House with insurrection brewing outside?
LOL Dear, I’m way over 50 and blonde to boot. There is a
challange to be found just getting in and out of the bath tub
safely, yet I’m aware and prepare accordingly. As to mean, the woman wrote the book. She should be flattered should we
attempt to emulate her. After all, she does consider herself
to be queen bee of the hive, the epitome of royalty.
I get your sentiment, but I was curious, so I looked it up. Her father's wikipedia page claims her father is Abruzzese (middle of Italy) and Genovese (north western coast). The mother's last name was Lombardi, which if it means her people were from Lombardy, it is a northernmost province, abutting Switzerland. But her parents were born in the U.S. Pretty sure they mixed with immgrants from other regions of It'ly in the old Baltimore melting pot.
Well she can claim a little of the North, but some of those can be pretty snooty.
That woman has nothing to be condescending about in her character.
Abruzzi is pretty “down to earth” though.
She is a mutt.
I lived with Siciiani, Napoleani, and Abbruzzese for many years. Several of the Abruzzese were red-haired with blue eyes.
Yep. Brings to mind that Occupy Wall Street guy taking a very public dump on the police car. That said, in this case I doubt it even happened. If it had, it would have been trumpeted well before now. Too much propaganda value in something like that.
They seem to be the Farkels...hope you know what that means.
And many Napolitano have blonde and blue eyes.
Italy is a wonderful example of “diversity.”
And yet, if you are Italian...that’s all that matters. HaHa.
