House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday she would “never forgive” former President Trump and his “lackeys” “for the trauma” that Capitol Hill staff experienced during the Jan. 6 riot.
A mob of Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol that day as a joint session of the House and Senate considered the Electoral College vote, forcing the evacuation of lawmakers. The event led to Trump's second impeachment.
“I'll never forgive president — former president of the United States and his lackeys and his bullies that he sent to the Capitol for the trauma that he — that wasn't what was exerted on our staff.
"These are young, largely younger people who come with the idealism to work in the Capitol on either side of the aisle and whatever it is. And for us to sign up for this when we run for office, it's bad enough for our families to see the danger we're in,” Pelosi said during her news conference.
The riot and its fallout continues to shadow Congress, as a special panel formed by the House investigates what led to the storming.
