==Nancy Pelosi had a 'total nuclear meltdown' on January 6th: Trump's defense secretary says Democrat was 'shrieking' about rioters 'taking selfies' and slams 'geriatric' Congressional leaders for 'cowering like frightened children'–

Nancy Pelosi was in a 'state of total nuclear meltdown' during the January 6th insurrection, Donald Trump's Defense Secretary Christopher Miller writes in his forthcoming memoir, saying the then-speaker of the House called him 'incoherent' and 'shrieking' about 'a rowdy band of MAGA supporters' who were 'taking selfies' throughout the Capitol.

Miller describes – in gripping detail – the afternoon Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election in his book Soldier Secretary, out Tuesday, and available for pre-order on Amazon and obtained by DailyMail.com.

He was heavily critical of the Congressional leadership at the time – both Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer but also of Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell.

He described the lawmakers as 'hyperventilating into the phone' as they demanded to know the status of troops coming to the Capitol.'

'At this point in time, I had been President Donald Trump's Acting Secretary of Defense for approximately two months,' he writes in the introduction to his book.

'I had known when I took the job that it was going to be wild. But I never could have imagined anything like this—getting reamed out by a histrionic Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell as they implored me to send troops to forcibly expel a rowdy band of MAGA supporters, infiltrated by a handful of provocateurs, who were traipsing through the halls of the Capitol, taking selfies, and generally making a mockery of the entire institution.'

He writes in his more than 30 years in the Army: 'I had never seen anyone—not even the greenest, pimple-faced 19-year-old Army private—panic like our nation's elder statesmen did on January 6 and in the months that followed.'

Miller also blasts the leadership for staying in power too long instead of training a new generation of leaders: 'Do I blame a bunch of geriatrics for acting like a bunch of geriatrics? Of course not. But do I judge them for it? You're damned right I do. Most of all, I resent that we are ruled by a bunch of geriatrics that ruthlessly and selfishly maintain their hold on power and refuse to develop the next generation of leader.'

Some of what Miller describes in his book is shown in footage shot by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra Pelosi for a documentary about her mom. She shows the Congressional leaders huddled in a secure location after the Capitol was breached.

Schumer had called then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy at 3 p.m., after the Senate chamber had been breached, to say there were still Senators hiding in their Capitol offices who needed to be evacuated.

Schumer and Pelosi called several officials that day to demand help, including Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.

Miller also was on their call list.

'I'm going to call up the effing secretary of DoD,' Schumer said of Miller, while sitting next to Pelosi. They rang him at 3:44 p.m. on Schumer's flip phone, requesting a 'massive' response.

'Just pretend for a moment it was the Pentagon or the White House or some under entity that was under siege. They can logistically get there as you make the plan,' Pelosi told Miller, as shown in the documentary.

Pelosi ordered him to 'get troops to the Capitol now,' Miller recalled in his book, calling it ironic because of how she and Democrats blasted the use of National Guard troops to quiet the Black Lives Matter protests, which sprang up around the country after the murder of George Floyd.

'As soon as it was her a** on the line, Pelosi had been miraculously born again as a passionate, if less than altruistic, champion of law and order,' Miller writes in his 305-page memoir.

Pelosi's office was broken into by the rioters, who trashed it as they looked for her, shouting her name as they marched through it.

Miller, who was appointed by Donald Trump to oversee the Pentagon after the then-president fired his Defense Secretary Mark Esper, spares no one except Trump in his memoir, which is filled with blunt language, laced with obscenities, and critical of military industrial complex.

Much of it focuses on his 31 years in the military - including his service in Iraq and Afghanistan - but he also talks about his service in the Trump administration, both on the National Security Council and at the Pentagon.
