Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces mounting backlash as critics question her role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach. Allegations, including an alleged admission from her daughter Alexandra suggesting the “insurrection” was politically staged, have reignited scrutiny. Pelosi’s recent post on X praising law enforcement’s courage and the resilience of democracy was met with skepticism and ridicule online.
In her post, Pelosi reflected on January 6 as a dark day for the nation, calling the attack a “violent attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power” and praising law enforcement for protecting the Capitol. Critics, however, highlighted a resurfaced video from the House Oversight Committee showing Pelosi taking “responsibility” for security failures, fueling claims of either orchestration or mismanagement.
