Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) screamed at a woman to "shut up!" Wednesday outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C., following a press conference with House Democratic Congress members focused on the government shutdown.
Lindell TV, founded by MyPillow CEO and Trump ally Mike Lindell, captured the exchange, which was posted on X by author and Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
In the video, Pelosi is surrounded by a group of reporters and her staff as she makes her way towards a vehicle, then turns around and stops to confront right-wing journalist Alison Steinberg, following her.
"Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that day?... Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?" Steinberg asks Pelosi.
That's when Pelosi turned and called her out.
"Shut up! I did not refuse the National Guard," Pelosi said. "The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?"
