Former President Trump admitted to purposely conflating Speaker Pelosi with Nikki Haley, claiming it was difficult to be sarcastic. He previously mixed up Pelosi with Haley during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, drawing criticism from both Haley and President Biden’s campaign. Trump’s recent rally in South Carolina comes ahead of the primary election, where he holds a significant lead over Haley in the state.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized ex-President Donald Trump for his inaction during the January 6 Capitol riot, referencing new details from an ABC News report. The report, based on testimony to special counsel Jack Smith, suggests Trump was disinterested in stopping the violence. Pelosi highlighted the importance of upholding democratic values in the upcoming 2024 election, where Trump is running again. Despite facing felony charges, Trump denies wrongdoing and claims political persecution. Pelosi also addressed Republican demands for immigration reform, emphasizing the need for responsible governance without a government shutdown.
