Perspective | On Thursday afternoon’s House hearing, we learned for the first time what Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was doing while American democracy and her own life hung in the balance: She was governing.
On Thursday afternoon’s House hearing — probably the last public one held by the select committee — we learned for the first time what Nancy Pelosi was doing while American democracy and her own life hung in the balance: She was governing.
At one point, she gravely told a roomful of her colleagues: “It’s going to take time to clean up the poo-poo they’re making, literally and figuratively, in the Capitol.”If ever there was a time to let loose with a four-letter word, this was it. Pelosi was not giving a televised campaign speech behind a lectern; she was huddling with confidants about how to continue with their work amid the greatest domestic assault on the Capitol in the history of the country.
The fact that Pelosi did not appear cowed by the presence of a mob that she surely knew was hunting her in particular is a testament to her statesmanship. And, frankly, this display of reserved statesmanship must either baffle or irritate supporters of the insurrection. Throughout her tenure as House Speaker, Pelosi has been painted by Trump supporters as an unhinged harridan: crazy, conniving and hungry for power. But there is a difference between being power-hungry and being powerful.
