Nancy Pelosi

It's why today the administration unveiled an official White House webpage selling a completely fabricated revisionist history about that day, one that refers to the rioters as patriots who marched to the Capitol and blames Capitol Police for escalating tensions, which is insane and offensive.

It even accuses Trump's own vice president, who the mob called to be hanged, of an act of cowardice and sabotage.

And of course, it falsely and ludicrously blames then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for security lapses at the Capitol, which in addition to being completely inaccurate, sort of undermines the whole idea that the rioters were themselves patriots.

So think about that as well.

Today, House Democrats held their own January 6th hearing to set the record straight about what really happened that day.

It featured testimony from police officers who defended the Capitol, a reformed January 6th rioter who takes accountability for her actions that day, and she gave an incredibly powerful testimony.

And, of course, Nancy Pelosi herself, who responded to the allegations that the Trump administration lobbed at her.

Donald Trump is what she wasn't ready for.

It's what none of us were ready for.

But now we know exactly who he is.

A man who is so addicted to power, he'll topple any person or institution or country he can hold on to it.

Joining me now is House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California.

It's great to see you.

I know this day is so difficult for everybody who lives in this city, and I thought of you a lot today.

I knew I was going to talk to you, but just given everything that happened, everything we all watched,

Now we have the current House speaker refusing to put a commemorative plaque.

We have Donald Trump, who's, of course, president again, still lying about 2020, pushing this absolutely offensive and ludicrous website.

How is this sitting with you five years later?

And yet all these years later, I remember the days after, I remember watching you lead in that moment and in the days after, you heard from so many Republicans who spoke out in the moment.

And they've seemed to kind of lose their voices is one way of diplomatically putting it, but not bravely speak out as they should or just not speak out and say the truth.
