I\u2019m a street fighter,\u201d Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/04\/13\/pelosi-jan-6-mob-would-have-had-battle-if-they-had-caught-her\/7194674002\/\">said<\/a> when she was asked whether she was frightened by the ordeal. \u201cThey would have had a battle on their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi reportedly then lifted her foot, showing her 4-inch-high stilettos, which she said she \u201cwould have\u201d used as weapons to fight off the rioters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was never personally afraid because I had so much security for myself,\u201d she said. \u201cI was afraid for everybody else, and I\u2019ll never forgive them the trauma that they caused to the staff and the members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi said Congress\u2019 goal is to find out \u201cthe truth\u201d about the events that unfolded that day and that she wants to have a commission do the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi was in the news earlier this week over a biography that is coming out on her next week in which she reportedly mocks far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/pelosi-book-aoc-squad-susan-page-36282731-a49d-4d3d-9373-a2002cc9c4ed.html\">Axios<\/a> highlighted details from the book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Pelosi unloads&nbsp;on the Squad, at one point adopting a child-like voice when discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and offers the Squad this blunt advice: \u201cYou\u2019re not a one-person show. This is the Congress of the United States.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Pelosi scoffs at President Obama for not being able to deliver his home state votes for Obamacare \u2014 \u201cWhy are we having a problem with Illinois?\u201d \u2014 and bristles at Obama getting sole credit for the deals she got through Congress.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The speaker said she learned the art of politics from her father, Baltimore Mayor Thomas D\u2019Alesandro: \u201cWhat I learned from my father was everything \u2026 I breathed it in \u2026 Politics is every minute of every day.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), an effort that they ultimately decided against.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s majority in the House has shrunk down to just six seats, 218 to 212, now that new-Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) was sworn into office this week. Pelosi lost a member last week when Alcee Hastings (D-FL) passed away after his battle with cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLetlow won a crowded GOP primary on March 20 to fill the vacancy left by her late husband and secured an endorsement from former President Trump, who won the solidly GOP district handily,\u201d The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/548228-julia-letlow-sworn-in-as-house-member-after-winning-election-to-replace-late\">reported<\/a>. \u201cMultiple other House seats still remain vacant. Former Rep. Ron Wright (R-Texas) died of COVID-19 complications in February, while former Democratic Reps. Deb Haaland (N.M.), Marcia Fudge (Ohio) and Cedric Richmond (La.) resigned to take roles in the Biden administration. All of those vacancies, as well as the one left by Hastings, aren\u2019t expected to be filled by special elections for months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
