Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was confronted by journalist Alison Steinberg from Lindell TV regarding her actions related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. The exchange highlighted significant tensions over the response to the events of that day, particularly Pelosi's refusal to call in the National Guard.
1. Confrontation at the Capitol:
• Steinberg asked Pelosi why she did not call for National Guard assistance on January 6.
• Pelosi responded angrily, telling Steinberg to “SHUT UP,” denying any refusal to call in the National Guard.
2. Previous Admissions:
• Records show that Pelosi had previously taken responsibility for the events of January 6, stating, “I take responsibility. ”
• Evidence suggests that there were warnings about a potential Capitol breach the night before, which Pelosi’s security aides reportedly received.
3. National Guard Decisions:
• Reports indicated that both Pelosi and D. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declined National Guard support for political reasons.
• Chief Sund, former Capitol Police Chief, claimed that his requests for backup were denied multiple times by Pelosi’s Sergeant at Arms both before and during the disturbance.
4. Further Evidence:
• Sund submitted a timeline detailing the requests he made for National Guard assistance, showing a pattern of denials from Pelosi’s aides.
• He argued that had Pelosi approved the National Guard's deployment, lives could have been saved, and disorder might have been avoided.
5. Political Context:
• The incident continues to fuel political disputes surrounding the narrative of the January 6 riots and accountability for leadership decisions that day.
The exchange between Pelosi and journalist Steinberg sparked renewed discussions about the responsibility and actions of political leaders during the January 6 incident. Pelosi's refusal to admit culpability in the failure to secure the Capitol raises questions that have not been fully resolved, suggesting ongoing political ramifications and public interest in the facts surrounding that day.
