In an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed former President Donald Trump's accusations and briefly confused President Joe Biden with his predecessor. The discussion revolved around Trump's attempt to blame Pelosi for the response to the January 6 Capitol riot.

Pelosi initially stated that she wouldn't delve into discussing Trump's "cognitive disorders." However, she herself had a momentary slip-up, mistakenly associating the accusations with GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley instead of President Biden. Maddow had referenced Haley's response to Trump's confusion but wanted to know Pelosi's opinion.

The former House Speaker clarified that Trump had wrongly accused Haley of not allowing the National Guard to intervene during the riot when, in fact, it was Pelosi and the president who were responsible. Pelosi emphasized that only the president had the authority to deploy the National Guard, and she, along with Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, had made efforts to request their assistance.

Trump, while addressing a crowd in New Hampshire, had previously mixed up Pelosi and Haley, holding Haley accountable for the security lapse during the Capitol riot. He also accused Pelosi of rejecting National Guard support. These remarks were made as part of his ongoing claims that the election was stolen from him.

Despite the confusion, Pelosi redirected the conversation towards President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, praising their campaign team and emphasizing the importance of getting out the vote for the upcoming election year. She also criticized Trump's constant falsehoods, particularly his claims about the Affordable Care Act.

Pelosi concluded by urging everyone to focus on the future and move forward, leaving Trump and his dysfunctional behavior behind. She emphasized the need to mobilize and energize voters to make a difference in the political landscape.

In related news, the projections for New Hampshire's GOP primary indicate a victory for Donald Trump. However, Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, congratulated him while stating that the race was "far from over."

As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Trump's rhetoric and accusations will impact future elections. The discussions surrounding his accusations and Pelosi's slip-up serve as a reminder of the divisive atmosphere that still lingers in the aftermath of January 6.
