On the day of the infamous US Capitol Hill riots, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wanted to punch then-President Donald Trump.

January 6, 2020 was the day of confirmation of newly elected President Joe Biden as President. Most of the lawmakers including Speaker Pelosi were in the parliament at that time.

Trump supporters attacked the Parliament building in the capital Washington DC after noon that day as a result of the ongoing debate and tension over the presidential election. Tortured documents and ransacked several offices and Congress.

Former President Trump was blamed for the infamous Capitol Hill riots. Basically he was the one who incited this violence. And naturally the Democratic politicians were angry about it. Some of them expressed their anger on the spot that day. Among them was Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself. Which is caught in some video of the incident that day.

Referring to such a video, the Washington Post reported on Friday (October 14) that at one point in the incident, Speaker Pelosi told her colleagues that she wanted to punch Trump.

The video, captured shortly before and during the riots, was broadcast for the first time on Thursday (October 13) by CNN. The video was captured by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra Pelosi.

It can be seen that Pelosi is talking on the phone with the police and government officials. On the other hand, other lawmakers are calling for the deployment of National Guard forces to prevent Trump supporters. At this time, Pelosi said together that Trump can also come to Capitol Hill.

Another said, his supporters do not have the weapons to protect him (Trump). So at this moment he will not come. But the opposite can also happen. In response, Pelosi shook off her anger and said, 'I want him to come. In fact I'll punch him.'
