House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during a Wednesday press conference that she would "never forgive" former President Donald Trump and his "lackeys and his bullies" for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the trauma it inflicted on the Hill's lower-level workers, Axios reports.
Her comments came in response to a question regarding a statement signed by hundreds of congressional staffers asking leadership to do something about Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-Colo.) anti-Muslim remarks, which they feel "puts our safety at risk," per Axios.
