In her first interview since announcing her retirement from a 20-term career in Congress, Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, had the opportunity to reflect on her political journey, her policies, and her vision for the country she professes to "love."
".
However, instead of seizing this opportunity, Pelosi chose to focus on a single topic: January 6th.
According to Gateway Pundit, the interview, conducted by CNN's Anderson Cooper and broadcast from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., was not about the future, nor about the seven presidents Pelosi worked with. It was not about the real challenges the country is facing in 2025 under President Trump, or America's declining position under the Democrats in Congress. Instead, Pelosi began the interview with a single-minded focus on the events of January 6th.
Standing under the historic Lincoln-built dome in the National Statuary Hall, Pelosi told Cooper that the "patriots" who visited the Capitol that day "defecated on the floor." She repeated this phrase twice, seemingly eager to portray anyone who dissents from Democrat rule as a criminal. This was her leading message during her first national interview since stepping down from Congress.
Pelosi's fixation on January 6th is indicative of how distorted the Democrat narrative has become. When asked by Cooper what she thinks about as she walks through the building, Pelosi did not mention legislation, her party's failures, or even her own legacy. Instead, she brought up January 6th once again.
She did not address the migrant crime crisis, inflation, border security, or the turmoil that Democrat policies continue to inflict on working families. Instead, she recycled a political talking point that Democrats often use to divert attention from their policy record, particularly now, with President Trump back in office and systematically reversing their failures.
Pelosi's insistence that "history will remember" January 6th exactly as she describes it, promising a "rehabilitation" of the narrative that Democrats have spent years inflating for political gain, is a clear indication of her party's priorities. She even invoked the statue of Clio, the Muse of History, claiming that Clio was "writing down everything" and was "appalled" on January 6th.
The Democrat Party, after decades in power, offers mythology, drama, and political theater instead of real policy or accountability. Pelosi listed the presidents she "loved"Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and even George W. Bushbut made no mention of the current President, Donald Trump, whose administration is addressing the consequences of the policies she championed.
While Pelosi spoke about "optimism" and the American Revolution, she and her party continue to label half the country as extremists, refusing to address the failures that pushed millions of voters back to President Trump. This interview was historic for one reason only: it revealed, with total clarity, the current state of the Democrat Party.
Pelosi was given a national platform to discuss her retirement, her record, and her legacy. Instead, she chose to focus on January 6th, division, and the same political script Democrats have used for years to avoid discussing crime, immigration, economic decline, and the consequences of their own leadership.
While President Trump is focused on securing the border, restoring law and order, and rebuilding a country fractured by Democrats, Pelosi remains fixated on January 6th. This stark contrast between the two political figures underscores the divergent paths that the conservative and liberal ideologies are taking in shaping the future of America.
