House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was going to "punch" former President Donald Trump on January 6 as he gave a speech at his "Stop the Steal" rally in a video shot and produced by her daughter, documentary filmmaker, Alexandra Pelosi, who was professionally filming the events of January 6 by her mother's side before the riot.
"I hope [Trump] comes. I’m gonna punch him out! This is my moment … I’m gonna punch him out and I’m gonna go to jail and I’m gonna be happy," Pelosi boasted before fleeing the Capitol and heading to Fort McNair.
According to Deadline, Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra, was filming footage at the Capitol from her mother's perspective on January 6, before the riot started, for an unknown professional project. Alexandra Pelosi often makes documentaries for HBO but her footage was screened at Thursday's meeting of the January 6 committee.
On Thursday, the January 6 committee voted to subpoena the former president in regard to his role on January 6.
Alexandra Pelosi then offered behind-the-scenes footage to CNN in an exclusive.
Pelosi offered her pugilistic remarks in response to her chief-of-staff, Terri McCullough, informing her that the Secret Service dissuaded Trump from heading towards the Capitol.
In the footage, Pelosi, who prior to January 6 was on record requesting no National Guard and a limited Capitol Police presence the day of the "Stop the Steal" rally, is seen frantically and performatively calling Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and requesting he send in the Virginia National Guard. She calls DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and asks for help as well.
Deadline described the footage, some of which has the HBO watermark, as "riveting" as it shows various members of Congress in various histrionic states on January 6.
"Please! The whole Capitol is rampaged!” Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said in one clip.
"I worry about you being in that Capitol room," Pelosi told former Vice President Mike Pence. "Don’t let anybody know where you are."
The January 6 documentary footage was filmed, edited, and appears to have been color-corrected and audio-mixed.
