Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi got emotional in an appearance on 60 Minutes Sunday, telling CBS’ Lesley Stahl about her experiences during the Capitol riots, walking through where her office was ransacked and her staffers hid under a table for hours.

In the interview, filmed on Friday, Pelosi described how when the rioters first breached the Capitol’s exterior doors, the Capitol Police pulled her from the podium and insisted that she leave with them to a safe, undisclosed location. At first, she did not want to leave, but they insisted it was necessary.

“What happened was a terrible, terrible violation,” Pelosi said, fighting back tears and telling Stahl how the rioters had broken down the door — “they broke that down, they smashed it in” — to the Speaker’s suite of offices.

“The staff went under the table, barricaded the door, turned out the lights, and were silent in the dark,” said Pelosi, “under the table for two and a half hours.”

1. These insurrectionists need to be prosecuted as domestic terrorists.

That is what they are.

12. I watched for a while after things settled down and every time a door slammed or there was a loud

noise all the people in the room voting or making speeches flinched and ducked. Awful thing to happen to people.

13. Thanks for that.

Glossed over in the interview is that Pelosi's laptop was stolen. Pelosi also plainly states that the search for her was no whim of the mob.

The evidence is now that it was a well planned, organized group with leadership and guidance.

Neither Pelosi nor any of the Democrats in Congress are under any illusions at this point. Good. Go get the people responsible, find those who provided plans and guidance, and bring them to justice.

I hadn't heard that the laptop was stolen. I hope they weren't able to access the contents.
