Pelosi: Jan 6. was "as if somebody in the White House dropped a bomb on Congress"

• President Biden echoed much of her previous sentiments in a speech marking the first anniversary of the attack, where he squarely blamed Trump for the deadly riot.
• The house Speaker praised Biden's remarks, adding that it was "a wake-up call to some in our country of how close we came to catastrophe for our democracy that day."

What they're saying: “The visuals of what was happening outside the Capitol ... it breaks your heart,” Pelosi told “NBC’s Nightly News.”

• The "thing that is unforgivable about January 6th is the traumatic impact that it had on the people who serve our country," she continued.
• Asked if Trump should be allowed to hold office again, Pelosi said, "there's absolutely no way he should be allowed into the White House under any circumstances."
