House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently made an appearance on MSNBC's The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart to talk about several issues, including Former President Donald Trump.
"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 but I don't think he'll show up. I don't think he's man enough. We'll see, we'll see if he's man enough to show up. And the public should make a judgement. No one is above the law. If we believe that, then they should make a judgement about how he responds to that request," Pelosi said.

Pelosi went on to answer a question from Jonathan Capehart about what the American people should take from Trump potentially not responding to the aforementioned request.
"They should take that he thinks he is above the law. Whatever actions the committee may take is up to them. I've kept my distance from their decision-making but whatever they decide will also send a message about his respect," Pelosi explained.
Pelosi continued, "He isn't honoring the oath we take to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That's a serious oath that we all take and clearly he...most of us have more respect for the office he held than he had."
"But why are we talking about him? We're talking about the future. Babies born now will live into the next century. We're gonna make sure that we have a world that is safe for them, a democracy that is strong for them and values that are respected...the dignity and worth of every person," Pelosi claimed.
