“I will never forgive President– the former president of the United States and his lackeys and his bullies that he sent to the Capitol for the trauma that he — that was exerted on our staff during the riot on January 6, Pelosi said. “These are largely younger people who come with idealism to work in the Capitol.”

“For us who signed up for this when we run for office it is bad enough, but for them — for these young people. I came back to the Capitol to say we’re going to open up government… even though they had an assault… When I saw what it meant to the staff, the way it traumatized them. It was frightening. That is something that, you can not just say we will do legislation to make sure it doesn’t happen again. You can not erase that,” she said.
