Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a meltdown on social media Monday night, after newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump issued a pardon for over 1,500 ‘January 6’ defendants.
Over 200 people were reportedly still being held in prisons, after Joe Biden’s Justice Department launched a massive investigation against Trump supporters who were in or around the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
Before leaving office Monday morning, Biden had issued a ‘preemptive pardon’ for all lawmakers and staffers from the House Januart 6 Select Committee that investigated the protest at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Biden also pardoned Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Pelosi didn’t complain about the pardons Biden issued.
However, the first thing Trump did upon returning to the Oval Office after his inauguration on Monday was to issue pardons for the January 6 defendants and prisoners.
Now Pelosi is furious. She released the following raging statement on X Monday night:
Tonight, the President announced pardons and commutations of sentences for those who violently attacked the Capitol and law enforcement officers on January 6th.
The President’s actions are an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution.
It is shameful that the President has decided to make one of his top priorities the abandonment and betrayal of police officers who put their lives on the line to stop an attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power.
Despite the President’s decision, we must always remember the extraordinary courage and valor of the law enforcement heroes who stood in the breach and ensured that democracy survived on that dark day.

Below are just a few of the tens of thousands of comments being posted in response to Pelosi’s meltdown:
You didn’t get pardoned, did you Nancy? Are you thinking the 2020 fraud and the coup to oust Biden might bite you? Speakers aren’t as powerful as presidents… https://t.co/43Ppke5tKc

You think we don’t know the role you played in January 6th?
You are a liar and criminal!

Biden pardons the corrupt political class, President Trump pardons the average Americans who became their victims.

Clinging to the lie as it crumbles before your eyes. This is why these people cannot be allowed to get away with their crimes – because they will come for every person who stands in their way the moment they get the chance. They have no shame, no compassion, no integrity. https://t.co/8pLLYlYab3

Biden granted clemency to a monster who murdered two federal agents, fired at other officers and burglarized a home when eluding arrest, and opened fire on prison employees and violently escaped from prison.
Save it, Nancy. https://t.co/M4nLPTYIhh
