After watching the 1/6 Committee video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calmly assessing the precarious situation that she and her colleagues were moving forward with certifying the election despite the danger, it is clear that she saved the United States of America. On that awful day.
Watch here as Pelosi and Schumer do Trump’s 1/6 action:
After she was told that security could not prevent Trump’s terrorists again, House Speaker Pelosi walked to the safe site saying, “We have to finish the procedures, or else they (Trump terrorists) will win completely.”
The Speaker of the House is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom “for her particularly meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States.”
Had he not acted swiftly and courageously to stand up for our votes and our democracy, it is more likely that this nation would have fallen into the hands of Trump and his plans to steal an election he knew he lost.
Not only has Speaker Pelosi been the most effective speaker in modern history in terms of legislation achieved, she is now also a national hero.
Pelosi has long faced biased criticism of women and age, as well as criticism from the left who wanted new blood in the leadership. But her actions on January 6th were what few could offer: courageous leadership under fire. The kind that comes from experience with the character. Pelosi also managed this only because of her years of keeping her alliance together under severe external and internal pressures.
This is what to remember when making speaker suggestions.
While Donald Trump deliberately left the Capitol without help because he was under siege and his supporters were plotting to kill Pelosi and Pence, Nancy Pelosi entered a leadership vacuum and was delivered to her country.
There is no greater civil service than the one provided by the Speaker of the House of Representatives on January 6, 2021.
