‘Get away from me!’ Pelosi loses it on reporter asking J6 questions

June 5, 2026 | | Print Article

Few politicians in Washington, D.C. are more arrogant or entitled than 86-year-old Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and these traits rushed to the surface when the California Democrat was questioned about January 6th.

With recent reports suggesting the so-called “insurrection” may have been staged all along, with an assist from the FBI, LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg caught up with Pelosi as she shuffled along the hallways of Congress to question her about the National Guard and her comments following the 2021 breach of the Capitol, which were captured on film. But the elderly lawmaker was having none of it.

“Shut up again because you’re speaking lies,” Pelosi snapped at the reporter.

Steinberg continued pressing for answers, prompting Pelosi to shakily attack her credibility by pointing out that she worked for Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow.

“I don’t think you’re a real journalist. You work for Mike the Pillow Man. That’s not journalism,” the Democrat said. “All you do is spout untruths. Get away from me!”

Ever the salesman, Lindell responded to the post, “Make Sure to Use Promo Code PELOSI for FREE SHIPPING on your ENTIRE ORDER at MyPillow.com!!”

While much of the media runs interference for Pelosi and her role on that fateful day —  the Speaker of the House has oversight of Capitol security through appointing the House Sergeant at Arms — documentary footage recorded by Pelosi’s daughter, Catherine Pelosi, captured the then-speaker stating “I take responsibility” for the security failures of the Capitol that day.

That footage can be seen here:

“As Nancy Pelosi was being evacuated from the Capitol on January 6, 2021 she admitted that, as Speaker of the House, she was responsible for the security failures, and for not having the National Guard at the Capitol,” House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) said in 2024.

“However, after the dust settled from the breach of the Capitol, she spent 20 million taxpayer dollars for her January 6 Select Committee to create a narrative that shifted the blame on President Trump,” he added. “The Democrats’ partisan select committee went to great lengths to suppress and hide evidence that didn’t support their predetermined narrative about that day, including this video of Speaker Pelosi admitting that she was responsible for the security failures at the Capitol. My committee will continue to investigate and expose all the facts. The American people deserve the truth.”

On that note, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who was forced out after Jan. 6, responded to the LindellTV post to say, “I made 13 separate requests for support, beginning on January 3. Every request was denied until 2:09 p.m. on January 6, when Pelosi’s Sergeant at Arms finally approved assistance. 2 mins later-the first Capitol window was broken. [Pelosi] forced me out of my position the very next day.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
