“We have totally failed. We have to take some responsibility for not holding the security accountable for what could have happened,” the California Democrat raged at one point.
“Oh my god, I cannot believe the stupidity of this. And I take the full responsibility.”
The videos, shot by her filmmaker daughter Alexandra Pelosi amid the chaos, were made public by the Republican-led House Committee on Administration on Wednesday after being turned over by HBO this week.
As Speaker, she controlled House operations and security on the House side of the Capitol, which she acknowledges in this HBO footage.”
Kash Patel, who served as chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense over the last two months of the Trump administration, vowed that the former president would hold Pelosi accountable for her part in the ordeal – saying it was “long overdue.”
