“I’m beating him up”: New images of US Capitol storming show Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to Trump speech | Abroad

Trump made that speech on January 6, 2021, in a park south of the White House. The president — who lost the election to Democrat Joe Biden but refused to resign — incited his supporters to resist fiercely and march to the Capitol. At that time, the ratification of the election results was being prepared.

The new footage shows the Democratic Pelosi chief of staff telling her that the Secret Service has convinced Trump not to go to the Capitol herself, because she cannot protect him there. “He’s not coming at the moment, but that could change,” she says.

Pelosi’s reaction leaves nothing to the imagination: “I hope he comes. Ks beat him up. I’ve been waiting for this. For penetrating the Capitol grounds. I’ll beat him up, I’ll go to jail and I’ll be happy,” she says.
