‘I’ll Tell You To Shut Up Again’: Nancy Pelosi Demolishes Lindell TV Reporter Alison Steinberg

Pelosi said the reporter was not a real journalist and repeated her dismissal after Steinberg pressed her on January 6 and the National Guard.

  • On Thursday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi clashed with LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg on Capitol Hill, repeatedly telling her to 'get away from me' over questions about the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
  • Steinberg and Pelosi previously clashed on October 15, 2025, when the reporter questioned Pelosi regarding the National Guard response, prompting the congresswoman to tell her to 'shut up' and dismiss the inquiries as 'Republican talking points.'
  • During the tense exchange, Pelosi dismissed Steinberg as 'not a real journalist,' stating, 'I'll tell you to shut up again because you're speaking lies,' and characterized her as working for 'Mike the Pillow Man.'
  • Footage of the incident generated more than 1.5 million views on X, prompting LindellTV owner Mike Lindell to capitalize by resharing the clip and promoting free shipping on MyPillow orders.
  • Steinberg has established a pattern of combative hallway encounters with lawmakers, while Pelosi maintains that the reporter's questions about the National Guard response represent a distraction she refuses to entertain.
