“I hope he comes,” Pelosi said. “I want to punch him out. This is my moment. I’ve been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I want to punch him out, and I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.”

Trump was mulling a visit to the Capitol grounds as lawmakers were expected to certify the election results of the 2020 presidential election. Democrats along and the mainstream media have claimed that the 45^th President promoted violence during the 2016 campaign trail and beyond.

On Thursday, the January 6th Committee subpoenaed Trump while no federal charges have been thrown at Pelosi.
