In a stunning display of hostility towards a free press, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was recently confronted by a reporter from Lindell TV, who dared to ask a question the liberal media has conveniently ignored for years. The reporter, Alison Steinberg, sought a simple answer regarding Pelosi’s own culpability in the security failures of January 6th. Instead of providing a coherent response, the Democratic leader erupted in a fit of rage, revealing the deep-seated animosity the left holds for any line of questioning that challenges their carefully constructed, false narrative.
The confrontation, captured on video, shows the Lindell TV reporter courageously pressing Pelosi on the critical issue. Alison Steinberg asked, “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that? Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?” This was a straightforward inquiry, one that the American people deserve an answer to. Yet, for Pelosi, it was an unforgivable act of journalism that broke from the left-wing script.
Pelosi’s immediate and venomous response was to scream, “SHUT UP!” She then followed with an unhinged accusation, stating, “I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist.” This outburst is a classic tactic of the left: when confronted with facts they cannot dispute, they resort to personal attacks and attempts to delegitimize the messenger. The reporter, undeterred by the bullying, stood her ground, rightly declaring, “The American people want to know! We still have questions!”
The evidence, however, completely contradicts Pelosi’s frantic denial. As footage released by the House Oversight Committee in June 2024 clearly shows, Pelosi herself admitted, on camera, “I take responsibility.” This admission of responsibility directly implicates her in the security apparatus that failed that day. For over three years, Pelosi and her allies on the January 6th Committee spent nearly $20 million of taxpayer money to create a false narrative solely designed to blame President Donald Trump, while actively hiding her own role.

The facts are clear that Pelosi, along with Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, were the individuals who politically refused the deployment of National Guard troops. Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund testified under oath that he pleaded with both House and Senate security officials for permission to have the D.C. National Guard on standby. His requests were denied. This was a catastrophic failure of leadership at the highest levels of the Democratic Party, not from the White House. President Trump has consistently stated that he offered National Guard support, an offer that was rebuffed by Pelosi and Bowser for purely political reasons, hoping to create a spectacle.
🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

Furthermore, reports from Just the News confirmed that Pelosi’s top security aides received explicit warnings about the potential for a Capitol breach the night before January 6th. With this advanced knowledge, the decision to deny additional security forces can only be seen as a deliberate and calculated move. The liberal media complex has willfully ignored this chain of command, choosing instead to parrot the partisan lies of the January 6th Committee, which shamelessly destroyed evidence and hid testimony that did not fit their pre-ordained conclusion to persecute President Trump.
The delay in the National Guard’s eventual deployment further implicates the military establishment opposed to President Trump. DC National Guard whistleblowers have testified that the Pentagon, under the direction of General Mark Milley, refused to authorize the Guard until after 5 PM, long after the crisis had subsided. The sequence is undeniable: Pelosi blocked the National Guard from protecting the Capitol, and Milley blocked them from deploying in a timely manner. This was a coordinated effort to create chaos and pin the blame on the 45th President.
