Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra was captured on newly released video downplaying the Jan. 6th Capitol riot and defending Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes during a meeting with a former Proud Boys member who was present at the riot.

Documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi was knowingly recorded during a Jan. 2022 meeting with a Jan. 6th defendant and his attorney in footage first released by Gateway Pundit. The Daily Caller identified the defendant as former Proud Boys member Gabriel Garcia and contacted his defense attorney, Aubrey Webb.

Pelosi talked to Garcia and his attorneys about what happened on Jan. 6th and the ongoing prosecutions of Jan. 6th attendees. (RELATED: REPORT: Kevin McCarthy Gave Thousands Of Hours Of Jan. 6 Footage To Tucker Carlson)

“What did the shaman do? He stood there…. the shaman got how many months, 41, compared to 8… and I think the government… they’re going to get bigger,” Pelosi said about three minutes into the meeting, referring to Jake Angeli, the “QAnon Shaman,” who was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the riot.

“After the Democrats lose the House and then they get rid of the [Jan. 6] committee, people may lose interest. The first trials are going to get a lot of attention… no one’s going to care after the Democrats get out of power,” Pelosi continued. “And then take Biden out of office, then who cares? If you drag it out long enough, I wouldn’t go first for a trial, because D.C. has a lot of people who work for the government… if you got it moved you’d totally get off.”

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack released its final report in Dec. 2022. It was dissolved when the Republican-controlled 118th Congress began in January.

“I know you’re not the bad guy,” she told the defendant six minutes into the meeting. “I haven’t found the bad guy yet, but if there is, I know you’re not the bad guy… If there was an insurrection, you’re supposed to be in line marching… you’re supposed to have a plan.”

Pelosi later referenced her friendship with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and denied he was a white supremacist. “I know Gavin McInnes, I went on road trips with him to parties. It was so comical to me when I first started hearing about like ‘Proud Boys are supremacist.’ This was, like, years ago, when they started saying… in Brooklyn, where he’s from. I was like… ‘What?'”

The purpose of the meeting was to determine whether the defendant would participate in an HBO documentary about her mother’s political career, according to Webb. Nancy Pelosi served as House Speaker from 2007-11 and 2019-23, having represented San Francisco for over 35 years. HBO released the finished documentary, “Pelosi in the House,” in Dec. 2022.

“Pelosi’s candid comments are more proof [of] what everyone already knows– there was no coup, no coup attempt, and no insurrection, and that this is just a political witch hunt against blue collar Americans,” Webb said in a statement.

Alexandra Pelosi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
