Trump is not 'man enough' to testify in Jan. 6 probe, Pelosi says

WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump is too much of a coward to obey a subpoena from the U.S. Congress compelling him to testify to a special committee investigating his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested on Sunday.

"I don't think he's man enough to show up. I don't think his lawyers will want him to show up because he has to testify under oath," Pelosi said in an interview with MSNBC.

On Friday, the select committee announced that it had issued the subpoena to Trump, giving him until Nov. 4 to submit a wide range of documents related to his activities before and after the deadly Jan. 6 attack by the former president's supporters. The panel also informed Trump that it wants him to appear for testimony on or about Nov. 14.

Since he lost the 2020 election, Trump has insisted he is the victim of widespread voter fraud, an allegation that has been dismissed by scores of court cases and audits.

1. I love it when Nancy baits Trump...

she's questioning his manhood and daring him to show up and testify under oath..

[BigmanPigman]

14. Jamie Raskin does a good job of baiting him too.

[maxsolomon]

18. Doesn't have the same impact, though.

as a woman who he's inveigled against for years. * really dislikes pelosi, and he knows his cult does too.

she defies them.

19. Trump is a misogynist..

so to see an unshakeable Nancy Pelosi on January 6 reaching out to governors, insisting they send in the National Guard to quell the riot, and her concern for Mike Pence's safety was awe inspiring...and then the snippet of her desire to punch Trump in the face if he dares to come to the capital...and now you have this woman that Trump obviously hates taunting him, calling him a coward and a liar, challenging him to face the J6 committee...Jamie Raskin is good but Nancy has balls...

2. The orange man is trying to run out the clock.

I seriously doubt he will provide any documents relative to the subpoena and or testify. But we'll see.

3. thats the line we should all be taking, and putting out far and wide

The many analyses about will he show up, obviously it would be a bad idea so he wont, that happened immediately after it was announced were slightly infuriating.

Slam the mans ego loudly, widely. Talk about how fearful he is to show up, as derisiviely as the law allows, and he might actually show up to be interviewed. And if he does, and says anything other than "I take the 5th" while under oath.. he will inevitably screw himself

4. Ouch.

Trumpie got a burn.

5. Hillary has bigger balls than Trump.

She showed up while he hides.

11. THE most delicate body part are NOT NEEDED for courage

ya know?

21. For 11 hrs of questions

6. That's a great strategy Madame Speaker ... I hope it works

[BigmanPigman]

16. That was my Halloween outfit 3 years ago.

The red coat, brown bob wig, chunky necklace and sunglasses (not easy to do at night time without falling) as well as clapping in front of me like Nancy did during the State Of The Union Address. Everyone knew who I was, probably since I live in a Blue area.

17. LOL awesome idea!

[EarthFirst]

7. I see what she did there...

8. Orange A-O

The lady calls it as we all see it.

[cstanleytech]

9. We all know he is a giant baby with teeny tiny hands.

[Jarqui]

10. Trump certainly lacks as much courage as this lady

[Grammy23]

12. If he has done nothing wrong (as he says),

He has nothing to fear. But we know he has done plenty wrong. One of the biggest issue for him is he doesn’t know how to be truthful. Lying is standard operating procedure for him. I fully expect him to delay as long as possible and pray fervently that control of the House changes. He uses that play/ploy every.single.time. So predictable. 🙄

[paleotn]

13. She has him. She's got him dead to rights.

and she's twisting his spineless ass around her little finger.

[tinymontgomery]

15. Should say the same thing about Lindsey Graham n/t

[pfitz59]

20. She grabs him

and twists! A powerful woman can do that.

[Oneironaut]

22. Very true, but, masculinity shaming isn't cool and needs to go away.

Trump is just plain a coward.

[betsuni]

23. Heh. Perfect trolling.
