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.

Was Pelosi saying this rhetorically or is the defecation thing an allegation of a real event? Were samples tested to connect them to the right Congressman? “Nadler...not again...we’re locked in here!”
True. Plus, just because Pelosi said it doesn’t mean it happened. I have not heard this from anyone before now. Without some corroboration, I doubt it.
We overheard the police radios asking if any trouble. Nope.
They thought they were in her district.
Those are her DAUGHTERS????
Seriously, I thought it was security hired by Nasty. You know, former football players from the 49ers.
Exactly. The democrats always accuse the Republicans of what they want to do in their sick fantasies-like the famous Trump tape. A sick fantasy of a leftist mind.
Actually, she only has one—just looked it up. I think it’s the one on the left (her right).
Everybody on the House floor is putting on gas masks.
How and why did the even have them did they expect something like the protest to happen after their actions?.
It wasn’t like the 5 shot on the floor in 1954 DRAMA QUEENS.
Public Pooping is again, standard fare for “liberal” protests.
As is rioting.
Can someone else verify her stories? I heard ONE at the time. Disgusted, but I haven’t heard much else. So if anything, maybe one guy did it whereas lots of libs love that kind of thing at ALL their riots.
Having emergency equipment wouldn’t be shocking. It is part of security.
Oh My! Not a good appearance for a female of her age.
Has she been dressed by Dr. Jill? Alittle less clevage, Madam
Speaker.
Nancy being given fashion tips by Dr. Jill these days? Certainaly a bit more clevage than necessary for a female of
her age. Please, pass the bleach.
If they feared security issues and they would have guns emergency equipment means everything.
One of the Dems favorite tricks is to “describe” something that they heard about with no actual evidence. This gets into a headline which is repeated over and over again as if it was verified. Then half the country believes it.
Thank you Albion.
Gosh, I never would have paired those two.
Sullivan of Insurgence USA and the Utah George Floyd rioting is one, and his brother said he had called for followers to go to DC.
Sullivan also had the lady friend with the Vietnamese connections with him and they were both on the media payroll of CNN... which, as I recall, is the employer of one or more former FBI officials who were involved in the Crossfire Hurricane Russia hoax.
I think it is more likely that congressional staffers defeated in their pants that day than a bunch of grannies and grandpas and veterans struggling in late from the speech by the Washington Monument.
I would be OK with arresting and jailing anyone who dropped their drawers in the capitol, but if lewdly dropping pants in a historic site is a crime most of Congress would be jail bound.
Maybe the other one is her best friend with benefits.
Exactly...
That is the major detail that keeps getting lost. The riot was perfectly timed to take place when our side was ready to present our case to contest.
