by her daughter Alexandra Pelosi and released by the Jan. 6 committee shows, she not only kept her calm in the face of imminent personal threat but remained laser-focused on her duty to preserve the bedrock principals of American democracy by certifying Joe Biden's presidential victory that night. Not for a moment does she put her self-interest first.
Trump frequently made Pelosi the target of his ire, and as House speaker and third in line to the presidency, she was in real danger on Jan. 6.one of her aides hiding under a desk whispered into a phone. Even while being rushed to safety, Pelosi displayed a steely resolve. Again and again she pushes for one thing — that Congress do their duty and certify the election."There has to be some way we can maintain … some confidence that government can function and that we can elect the president of the United States" she told members around her. Meanwhile, Trump supporters like Richard"Bigo"putting his feet on her desk in contempt and disrespect.
Against the backdrop of the abusive, violent, brutish and lawless leadership of Trump, a female leader wielding a wholly different kind of power, taking charge and putting country first in an unprecedented crisis is inspiring.In the upcoming midterm elections, Americans will be asked to choose which of these leadership models they want. Many candidates around the country are like Trump, building their power on fear, intimidation and lies.
