Never-before-seen footage released by the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other lawmakers attempting to quell the violence of Jan. 6, 2021 — with Pelosi at one point complaining of Trump supporters defecating in the halls of Congress.
The video was meant to contrast the frantic activity of House and Senate leaders with the inaction of then-President Donald Trump, who reportedly watched the chaos unfold for hours on television at the White House.
“We have got to get … finish the proceedings or else they will have a complete victory,” Pelosi tells someone over the phone as she is escorted to a secure location from the House floor after rioters disrupted the official count of 2020 electoral votes.
The House speaker is then seen huddled in a small room with Reps. James Clyburn (D-SC), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and other others as she plots aloud on how to resume House business.
