Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that she wished more Republicans would accept the “truth” that former President Donald Trump “incited an insurrection.” Pelosi said, “What’s interesting about it all is that in every case, every piece of this, whether it was our case in terms of the Electoral College, whether it was what happened with the January 6 Select Committee, or this testimony now, it’s all coming from Republicans in the Select Committee except for maybe the poll workers and I don’t know what party they are.
