The feud between Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi runs deep, extending far beyond their roles as prominent U.S. leaders. Their contentious relationship has sparked some of the most intense political conflicts in recent history. Recently, a video of Pelosi, captured by her daughter, resurfaced online. In the clip, she can be heard saying, “If he comes, I’m going to punch him out. I’ve been waiting for this.
I’m going to punch him out for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. And I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.” This video has reignited the fierce debate, with netizens slamming Pelosi for her comments about Trump.
A user shared the video on X, commenting, “Now that the January 6 video was released… I think it’s time she’s held accountable for threatening President Trump, don’t you?” The clip quickly went viral, with many netizens weighing in. One user tweeted, “Tearing papers during Trump’s speech should have been the number one red flag.
We knew she was involved…and one of the main antagonists for J6.” Another opined, “She needs to be tried and convicted. Serve the rest of her life in prison and not a fluff one.” Others echoed similar sentiments, suggesting Pelosi’s actions were part of a broader conspiracy. “I think she engaged in a common conspiracy to enrage the public.
She failed to do the minimum necessary to protect the Capitol facilities from some bad actors. Not all the crowd, but those with her agenda…” another netizen added. “I would be happy if she went to jail, too. We’ve missed so many opportunities to make Nancy’s wish come true,” said another user. However, some called for more context, saying, “Guys, we are only showing a small clip without context… this shows nothing…
Yes, I don’t like her either, but this is kind of what the Left does to us… it won’t work we need the full info given to the people so we can make these people accountable for their actions.” The video was recorded by Alexandra Pelosi, a renowned documentary filmmaker and the daughter of the Democratic Speaker of the House. Alexandra has been producing documentaries for HBO for many years. The footage shows Nancy reacting to her staff sharing reports about Trump’s attempted visit to the Capitol on January 6.
As reported by CNN, Pelosi’s reaction was a moment of frustration and concern for the safety of the Capitol. In another clip, Nancy is seen addressing her staff as a crowd starts gathering at the Capitol. Her Chief of Staff, Terri McCullough, informs her that the Secret Service had advised against Trump coming to Capitol Hill to join his supporters, according to NBC News.
McCullough said, “They told him they don’t have the resources to protect him here. So at the moment, he is not coming, but that could change.” The release of these videos has further fueled the ongoing debate about the events of January 6 and the roles various political figures played. As the discussions continue, both Trump and Pelosi remain central figures in the polarized landscape of American politics.
