You’ll be hard pressed to find a more disliked politician than former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The 84-year-old representative from the Golden State is the walking definition of a sleazy, corrupt, greedy, power-starved career politician. Everything we all despise in this realm of civil life she embodies. She’s not just a part of the swamp, she’s the very essence of its being.
And this is no secret to anybody else who has more than two brain cells. Which explains why Pelosi herself isn’t aware of it.
Four years ago today, our nation watched in horror as a terrorist mob stormed the Capitol grounds and desecrated our Temple of Democracy in a violent attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power.
The January 6th insurrection shook our Republic to its core — and left…
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 6, 2025
Pelosi, like the vast majority of Democrats, took an opportunity on Monday, which was Jan. 6, to remind Americans that it’s a day, like Pearl Harbor, that should live in infamy, one that is to be remembered according to the false narratives cooked up by propagandists in order to paint President-elect Donald Trump and the American people like domestic terrorists.
“Four years ago today, our nation watched in horror as a terrorist mob stormed the Capitol grounds and desecrated our Temple of Democracy in a violent attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power,” Pelosi posted to X, according to The Western Journal.
Pelosi then ranted for another six paragraphs about how the “parable of January 6th reminds us that our precious democratic institutions are only as strong as the courage and commitment of those entrusted with their care.” This sort of grandstanding would be obnoxious enough from any Democrat, but it’s particularly rich — no, not your beloved stocks, Nancy — coming from Pelosi.
As much of social media reminded her, Pelosi herself reportedly turned down an offer from then-President Trump to have the National Guard help quell the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.
January 6th, Pelosi in the video her own daughter took said she was at fault! Pelosi as Speaker had the responsibility to call the national guard and she REFUSED!

Not sure which of your staffer(s) wrote this, but why didn't you have the National Guard there as Trump asked? You said you were responsible for this on video Nancy. Why were there almost 30 confidential FBI sources on the grounds?

The fact that you declined extra protection as requested from Trump.
January 6th was all your fault!!

This now “unforgettable day” was indeed a failure, but not on Trump’s part. Nope, like every other governmental mistake made in the last four years, this one is President Joe Biden’s all the way. Along with other members of Democratic Party leadership.
And now that the narrative of Jan. 6 has largely been repudiated with Trump’s dominant Nov. 5, 2024, victory, Democrats are flailing about trying to keep the onus on Trump. It’s not working. And if a few more lifetime politicians like Pelosi could get ratioed in the process of this narrative not working, that would be just swell.
Pelosi and those like her have made a fortune being public servants, a concept that is antithetical to every principle and value our nation was founded upon. This should not be. It’s corruption. It’s no different than someone abusing the welfare system. It’s time for career politicians to become a thing of the past, ancient relics and fossils, just like Pelosi.
