Overview

  • On the Capitol steps, LindellTV correspondent Alison Steinberg pressed whether a new January 6 review could find Nancy Pelosi liable and why she supposedly refused National Guard support.
  • Pelosi replied, “I did not refuse the National Guard; the president didn’t send it,” then walked away as the exchange was recorded on video.
  • House Republicans voted last month to form a new panel chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk to revisit security failures surrounding the 2021 attack.
  • Competing accounts persist, with GOP reports and former security officials citing concerns over guard “optics,” while Democrats point to administration delays in deploying troops during the riot.
  • HBO footage filmed on Jan. 6 shows Pelosi saying “I take responsibility” and questioning the Guard’s absence at the outset, and the DC National Guard answers to the president through the Pentagon.
