‘Street fighter’ Nancy Pelosi says she would’ve fought off Capitol rioters

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrectionists would have “had a battle on their hands” if they encountered her — declaring she is a “street fighter.”

“That’s what they were setting out to do,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told USA Today, acknowledging that rioters had intended to reach herself and other prominent targets, such as Vice President Mike Pence.

If they had, she continued, “Well, I’m pretty tough. I’m a street fighter. They would have had a battle on their hands.”

Instead of fighting them off, she went to the head of the Capitol police ahead of the event and demanded they turn off the Capitol security and let the people in.

No security checks - as in walking through the medal detector, refusal of backpacks and purses, and showing the required ticket supplied by the individual's congressman 2 to 3 months in advance.

Nancy got all that shut off.

She doesn't need to fight in the street cuz she is in charge of the whole stinking mess.

The weird thing is that they report it like this.

“Well, I’m pretty tough. I’m a street fighter. They would have had a battle on their hands.”

IIRC she and all the other brave souls in congress were scampering away down the underground tunnel to their safe space. Difficult to put up much of a fight when you're running away.

> Unfortunately Nancy wasn’t born until March 26, 1940 in Baltimore, MD. <

That’s just what she wants you to believe. I have it on good authority that she was born back in 1890, in the basement of a castle in eastern Transylvania.

Trust me Nancy, anyone that looks at you does not want to touch you. You are a one-woman, crowd control device.

She’s got to be 100 years old at least.

Simply pathetic. Her tough-guy stance is as laughable as Biden’s.

She’d crack like a piece of cheap dryboard.

Botox injections are what makes her look like a not so quite old witch, but face it, she’s 80+ years old.

Then again, she could challenge Resident Biden to a pushup contest.

Pelosi: No, but my gas has been known to fell many an approaching enemy, though. Room clearing.

Trump’s supporters wouldn’t attack her.

They were the people who stayed on the roped off pathways.

But she wasn’t there, was she? Because she knew that most of the bad actors were false flag antifa thugs. And she knew they were coming, in advance. It is not against the constitution for citizens to peacefully protest the government. I’m not saying that some conservatives didn’t get a little pushy, but since the government has done it’s best to pick and choose those mostly conservatives, whom they have detained, and done next to nothing about antifa or blm, I’d say Nancy, et al, are, once again, lying, cheating, and circumventing the law of the land. What’s new? She was afraid she’d get shot or beaten up by the real bad guys. Duplicitous coward!
