If Nancy Pelosi is in her final weeks as Speaker of the House then she is going out with guns blazing and the octogenarian Democrat doubled down on her claim that she would have punched former President Donald J. Trump out on January 6, 2021.

Madame Speaker sat down for an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday’s edition of “Andrea Mitchell Reports” where she discussed a wide range of topics including the upcoming midterm elections, her hand-picked January 6 committee, former President Donald J. Trump and abortion as well as the need to defend “our democracy” which really means a continuation of one-party rule by Democrats.

When asked by Mitchell whether Biden should have been more aggressive when it came to arm-twisting in the Senate to get the party’s extreme bill on abortion passed before the potential loss of Congress, Pelosi was gobsmacked.

“You think we would have gotten 10 Republican votes? You think we would have gotten 10 Republican votes? Oh, come on,” Pelosi shot back.

She also talked extensively about the so-called “insurrection” and her committee, topics near and dear to her heart, when confronted over her headline-grabbing remarks about assaulting the sitting POTUS that she made in documentary footage – Pelosi strangely had an entire film crew at the Capitol on the fateful day – she insisted that she would have punched Trump right in the kisser.

“Now we’ve seen that you said on the day of the riot, you said if he led the rioters and came up to the Hill, you would’ve punched him out,” Mitchell said.

“That’s right. I don’t even like to talk about him because it’s really a tragedy for our country,” she said in a brazen lie that an honest reporter would have challenged on the basis that she constantly talks about Trump whom she is obviously obsessed with.

Mitchell followed up, “But you did say would you’ve punched him out.”

Pelosi replied, “I said I would’ve punched him, I would’ve gone to jail, and I would’ve been happy to do so for our country.”

“Would you have done it?” Mitchell asked.

“He wouldn’t have had the courage to come to the Hill,” Pelosi responded. “He’s all talk.”

“But let me just say, say this, our democracy is at stake when you define democracy as integrity of the vote,” Pelosi continued as she regurgitated the word “democracy” numerous times in her long answer.

“They want to suppress the vote. They’ve been doing that for a long time. They want to nullify the results of an election, they’re even proposing that after an election, if they don’t like the result, they will change the rules that would have governed that election retroactively, so you have to, you have to recognize that they are undermining our democracy,” she said. “And if people think that they can be casual about that, they don’t realize how serious the Republicans are about undermining our democracy.”

Pelosi was then confronted by Mitchell on a new poll that is greatly troubling to Democrats, that their “election denier” narrative is failing to persuade enough swing voters to base their decision at the ballot box on a concocted narrative instead on real issues that affect them in their daily lives, particularly inflation and the economy.

“Let me ask you about that. In one new poll again, 39% of voters say that they would vote for an election denier and this included some Democrats and Independents if they liked their stance on other issues. How do you explain that after all these hearings?” Mitchell asked, referring to the just-released New York Times/Siena poll of likely November voters.

“I can’t explain it,” Pelosi said, invoking “democracy” several more times in her answer and mixing in the children for added effect.

“I think it’s a tragedy for our country that people don’t value the vision that our founders had about a democracy. What our men and women in uniform fight for, here and other places in the world. What that means to our children. We have to give them — many children born now will live into the next century,” Pelosi said. “We have to make sure they have a planet that’s safe, that a democracy that is strong and values respected and agreed upon. That’s not the path the Republicans are on.”

Pelosi’s interview is another perfect example of why it’s so important that voters oust her and her fellow Democrats from power next month and prevent them from retaking it until moderate forces regain control of the party which could be a very, very long time given its current condition.
