NANCY PELOSI: I find this to be a very emotional time. I said to the members, we're very passionate to our reaction to this assault on our democracy, on this temple to democracy. We're very passionate about our reaction, but we must be very dispassionate in how we make decisions to go forward for security, security, security.
As I see many of the film-- and the incitement of it all by the President of the United States-- but as you see the film, one figure-- there was so many disgusting images-- but one figure of a man in a shirt with Auschwitz on it-- Auschwitz. Work equals freedom for Auschwitz.

To see the dehumanizing of people that was perpetrated there was so, so overwhelming. To see this punk with that shirt on and his anti-Semitism that he has bragged about, to be part of a white supremacist raid on this Capitol requires us to have an aftef-action review, to assign responsibility to those who are part of organizing it and incentivizing it.

PUNK ! Haha !! That is extremely strong language from the normally diplomatic Nancy Pelosi ! Yes he is a punk and I hope he sits in prison for a long time, changes his views and repents.
