Nancy Pelosi

In footage taken by her daughter during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Pelosi appeared calm, focused and pragmatic under unthinkable circumstances.

While the president of the United States stood down, she stood up. While pro-Trump rioters tried to derail the government, she tried to keep it on track. It was exactly what made the rioters hate her and exactly what the country needed. But Pelosi would not allow the horror of the situation to impact the decorum with which she would address it. Schumer (D-N.Y.), talking on the phone with Vice President Mike Pence, receiving security briefings and, above all else, strategizing about how to make this all stop. One is about having the will to win at all costs. She knew it would “take time.” She was not making an empty, churlish demand for justice, now. Pelosi was not giving a televised campaign speech behind a lectern; she was huddling with confidants about how to continue with their work amid the greatest domestic assault on the Capitol in the history of the country. The behind-the-scenes footage, shot by Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra, is a striking study in professional composure under outrageous circumstances.

Pelosi’s maneuvering reveals a principled determination to get back to the disrupted joint session of Congress as quickly as possible — so as to maintain the image of the U.S. I’m certainly not always a fan of Pelosi’s political positions, but I appreciated her instantaneous recognition of the fragility of our democracy. Even before it was clear what had happened with the riot and how organized it was, she knew that every moment that passed could irrevocably damage the government’s reputation as worthy of the people’s trust.
