Previously unseen footage of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revealed she took personal responsibility for holding back National Guard troops during the infamous January 6th U.S. Capitol debacle.
GOP congressmen released the video on Monday, after demanding HBO hand over around 45 minutes of film captured by Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra Pelosi who just happened to be working on a documentary during the historic event.
In the newly released clip, Pelosi admitted, “We have responsibility… You’re gonna call me in the middle of the thing when they already breached the inaugural stuff that should we call the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with? They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
Gotta give Pelosi credit for taking responsibility in the initial aftermath.
And a HELLUVA LOTTA BLAME for literally everything she had done since to blame Trump/MAGA.

The admission by Pelosi is key since Donald Trump was previously labeled a liar for telling Americans she denied his request for an additional 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6th.
An MSNBC host pushed back against Trump when he explained how Pelosi was responsible for the lack of preparation at the Capitol on J6.
Turns out Trump was right again. Nancy Pelosi turned down the National Guard protection of the Capitol on J6, not Trump.

After the unaired video excerpt from her daughter’s HBO documentary was released on Monday, Pelosi ran to MSNBC where she claimed Republicans and Trump are “trying to do revisionist history on January 6th.”
The corrupt career politician then went on to again claim Donald Trump “incited an insurrection” and “would not send the National Guard for hours.”
After calling the leading presidential candidate an insurrectionist, Pelosi had the gall to tell viewers, “We have to unify our country. We have to bring people together in a way that honors the vision of our founders, the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform as well as the aspirations of our children.”
Nancy Pelosi dropped everything and ran over to MSNBC to try to resurrect their lies about January 6.
This is desperation.
This is panic.
This is delicious.pic.twitter.com/Qewuav9DIo

Meanwhile, in January 2021, the acting Secretary of Defense admitted that he and the Joint Chiefs Chairman didn’t discuss deploying the National Guard with President Trump — but instead Vice President Pence and congressional leaders including Pelosi.
This is nuts. The Acting Secretary of Defense acknowledging that he and the Joint Chiefs Chairman did not discuss deploying the National Guard with President Trump – but rather with VP Pence and Congressional leaders. pic.twitter.com/b8gAT9bnSC

Despite the Deep State keeping him out of the loop, Trump did eventually send National Guard troops to the Capitol as documented by ex-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.
We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.

The establishment is terrified of their lies about January 6th being exposed to the masses who have been force-fed propaganda over the past three years.
