Nancy Pelosi in January 6 Capitol Riot

On Principles & Values: It's not a normal day when people threaten to hang the Veep

One Republican called the rioters a "mob of misfits." Another suggested the sweeping federal investigation into the riot -- which has yielded more than 400 arrests and counting -- amounts to a national campaign of harassment. It's a turn of events that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, another target of the rioters, called "appalling" and "sick."

"I don't know of a normal day around here when people are threatening to hang the vice president of the United States or shoot the speaker, or injure so many police officers," said Pelosi, who has pushed for a bipartisan commission to investigate the riots.
