Pelosi Explains Freedom of the Press [semi-satire]

This week, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) told LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg to "shut up." The incident occurred as she was being assisted in her efforts to navigate the stairs to the Capitol building in DC. "I could've been seriously injured or killed!" Pelosi contended. "I have a right to walk without being accosted by unwanted questions."

"I was only trying to get Speaker Pelosi's response to Republican assertions that she was at least partially to blame for the disorder at the Capitol on January 6, 2021," Steinberg said. "Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has testified that, as required by federal law (2 U.S.C. ยง1970), he had to get Pelosi's Sergeant at Arms to authorize a call to the National Guard for help with the large crowd surrounding the building on that day. He made his first request shortly after 9 am, but it wasn't until after 2 pm that Pelosi's approval was obtained. By then many people had entered the Capitol and the members of Congress had by then already evacuated."

"What this reporter wants isn't as important as what I want," Pelosi explained. "Freedom of the press doesn't make me obligated to respond to their questions. In fact, the Constitution explicitly states that members of Congress 'shall not be questioned in any other place.' The narrative that has already been established by all the reputable members of the media that January 6 was an insurrection incited by Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 election. This narrative was confirmed by a select committee of the US House of Representatives in December of 2022. Trump should be in prison now instead of the president of the United States. I won't answer questions from any reporter who doesn't agree with me on this crucial point."

I wonder how fast Nancy can run now, being 85 and a broken hip and all. Run, Nancy, run!
