There is a Nancy Pelosi conspiracy theory that is in overdrive right now on the Internet.
Footage of Pelosi leaving the Capitol during the rioting is at the heart of this.
I want to address that as well as my observation about Pelosi on this.
The Footage
Conspiracy theorists were charging that Pelosi orchestrated the attack to hurt Trump.
I am not going to go down that road.
What I would like to address, however, is this particular footage…

Now, tell me if you think that looks like someone that was in fear for her life.
Again, I am not saying that Pelosi orchestrated the riot, but I personally believe she wanted it to happen, if that makes sense.
Some of the security decisions were clearly not in the best interest of the Capitol, then the riot happened.
Again, do I think Pelosi orchestrated the riot? Absolutely not.
But after seeing that footage, I firmly believe she had a plan in place if a riot happened, one that I think she was hoping would happen to hurt Trump and conservatives.
