The Pelosi Punch

 A very calm Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was in her Capitol Hill office on January 6, 2021 observing President Donald Trump’s speech and watching protesters gather by the capitol. Her daughter Alexandra was filming her. We know this because the video aired for the first time October 13 on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360. 

Pelosi, wearing a COVID mask is seen saying: “It’s very dangerous what he’s doing. He’s getting all these people to show up and protest “stop the steal.” He’s putting all these crazy ideas in their heads…Tell him if he comes here, we’re going to the White House (laughing)...” Two staffers in masks report to Pelosi that Secret Service dissuaded Trump from coming to the Capitol. Then she drops a bombshell.


Pelosi pulls down her mask and gets very animated with her eyes looking straight ahead and her fingers pointing while she says, “I hope he comes. I want to punch him out. We’re waiting for this, for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I want to punch him out, and I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.” 

The video of Pelosi wanting to punch Trump went viral as Newsweek reported that over three million people viewed it on Twitter and Recount combined. It was certainly tell tale of how the media covered the release of this video. Conservative media portrayed Pelosi as rather insane, quoting Trump calling her “Crazy Nancy.” Liberal media hailed Pelosi as a Bad-A** hero that was either outraged or joking.

NBC’s story says that Pelosi was joking. People Magazine’s story said Pelosi was expressing “outrage” then, in the same story, said that she was “joking.” Newsweek reported: “Many Twitter users praised Pelosi's comments in reaction to the footage. "I make a motion that hereinafter Nancy Pelosi is referred to as 'Bad-A** Madame Speaker,'" tweeted USA TODAY opinion columnist Michael J. Stern. "She'd have done it too, because she's just that much of a bada**,"…Twitter account The Palmer Report wrote, sharing the footage.

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann described the video as "the greatest sound bite of the last seven years. It is what we have been dreaming to say and what we have been waiting to hear. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi!" 

The Pelosi Punch would make for good entertainment. In the Blue corner, 82 year-old Nancy Pelosi, weighing in at 112 pounds and 5 feet 1 inch tall. In the Red corner, 76 year-old Donald Trump, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 212 pounds. LET’s RUMBLE! I imagine that Pelosi would want a free punch because she’s entitled. The NIV Proverbs 22:29 says, “An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.” 

Trump would say that if you step into the arena, you get what you get. Pelosi might throw a punch and then it would be lights out. We could see how all that plays out in our nation’s Capitol. It would be the fight of the century and pay per view would be sold out. Even so, it would never match how Pelosi has sold out America during her years in Congress. It’s the real Pelosi punch.
