The younger Pelosi, who was inside the U.S. Capitol at the time, “is talking to people who were there that day in hopes of having open and unfiltered conversations about what brought them to Washington, D.C. from across the country and how their viewpoints can or maybe he hasn’t moved since that fateful day,” HBO said.

“The left says you are domestic terrorists. The right says you’re all just tourists,” Pelosi can be heard saying in a trailer for the documentary released Tuesday. “But the United States government thinks you’re all rebels.”
In the trailer, Pelosi asks the rioter — who is currently in jail — how he broke into the Capitol. “I just came in,” he answered over the phone.

Another man, wearing Donald Trump’s socks with the inscription “Hillary [Clinton] For Cellmate 2022” T-shirt, he smiles as Pelosi tells him, “I can see you’re taking this sentence very seriously.”
