The AP Interview: Pelosi says 'democracy won' on Jan. 6

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a singular message for Americans and the world on the eve of the anniversary of the horrific attack on the Capitol:

“Democracy won.”

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, steps from where a mob loyal to Donald Trump laid siege to the building, Pelosi said it’s time for the country to turn to its “better angels,” draw from history and ensure a day like Jan. 6 never happens again.

"Make no mistake, our democracy was on the brink of catastrophe," Pelosi told the AP.

“Democracy won that night," she said. "These people, because of the courageous work of the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police and others, they were deterred in their action to stop the peaceful transfer of power. They lost.”

The speaker will lead Congress on Thursday in a day of remembrance at the Capitol, with President Joe Biden speaking in the morning, and historians and lawmakers sharing remembrances throughout the day — though few Republicans are expected to attend.

1. Totally agree with the Speaker. Biden was inaugurated, trump removed, the

courts backed democracy, etc. It was a powerful performance against a crook and his rube supporters.

2. It would great to also state who THOSE PEOPLE are.

Terrorists, enemies of the state, fascists, fucking take your pick. No wonder people have differing opinions on this. CALL THEM WHAT THEY FUCKING ARE. Christ.
