Pelosi Claims She ‘Begged’ For National Guard On J6 Yeah, Right! [Video]

Daphne Moon 11 3 min read

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently distorted the truth about her role leading up to the events of Jan. 6, 2021 at the US Capitol. Pelosi claimed she “begged” the Trump administration’s Defense Department to send the National Guard to the Capitol, but the full story reveals her own complicity in the lack of security that day. Pelosi’s version of events conveniently leaves out the fact that her own appointed House sergeant at arms declined requests for guard support days before the incident, citing bad optics. This paints a very different picture of Pelosi’s actions leading up to Jan. 6.

Pelosi recently stated, “Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell and I were begging the administration to send the National Guard” on Jan. 6. However, this is only half the story.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and members of the Trump administration have testified that the offer of National Guard support was made days in advance of Jan. 6, but Pelosi’s own sergeant at arms denied the request, citing concerns about “optics.” These facts show that Pelosi’s efforts to deflect blame onto the Trump administration are simply a way to avoid accountability for her own actions.

Watch

According to an official timeline compiled by the Capitol Police, a Pentagon official reached out on Jan. 2, 2021 to ask if they wanted National Guard troops deployed for Jan. 6. The Capitol Police responded the next day declining the offer, presumably because Pelosi’s sergeant at arms had already turned down the request.

Trump’s former Chief of Staff Kash Patel has also affirmed that DOD support was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms who report directly to Pelosi. This evidence proves that Pelosi had ample opportunity to ensure the National Guard was present on Jan. 6, but she chose to ignore the offer.

During a speech in August 2022, Trump stated, “Had they not turned it down, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6 as we know it.” This statement highlights how Pelosi’s actions directly contributed to the security failures of that day. Bowser also made a preemptive request on Jan. 5 for the National Guard not to be deployed unless approved by the Metropolitan Police Department, citing a similar incident in summer 2020. It is clear that Pelosi’s concerns about “optics” were always at the forefront of her decision-making, even if it put the safety of the Capitol at risk.

In a testimony to the Committee on House Administration in September 2023, Sund explained that he requested the assistance of the National Guard on Jan. 3, but was denied by the sergeants at arms who cited concerns about optics. Sund also revealed that he called Irving, Pelosi’s sergeant at arms, 11 times before finally receiving approval for the National Guard to be deployed. This delay shows that Pelosi was ultimately responsible for the absence of National Guard troops on Jan. 6, despite her attempts to shift the blame.

Sund believes he was never asked to publicly testify before the Jan. 6 committee, established by Pelosi, because lawmakers did not want her decision-making to be scrutinized.

This further highlights Pelosi’s efforts to protect her own image and deflect accountability. She also blocked Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from serving on the committee, showing her clear bias and unwillingness to seek the truth. This painted a clear picture that the committee was more focused on politically damaging Trump than finding out the truth about what happened on Jan. 6.

Pelosi’s claims of begging for National Guard support are a half-truth that conveniently ignores her own role in the security failures on Jan. 6. She was directly involved in denying requests for guard support days before the incident, and her continual focus on optics and deflecting blame only further underscores her unwillingness to take accountability.

The American people deserve to know the truth about what happened on Jan. 6, but Pelosi’s actions have prevented this from happening. It is time for her to take responsibility for her mistakes and put the safety of the Capitol above her own political agenda.

  2. Nothing new here folks. This woman, and I use that term loosely, has been lying most if not all of her life. So now she has picked up on President Trump’s statement that he offered her National Guard troops and is turning around the story that she did it. The Democrats get more outlandish as each day goes by.

    1. Everything bad that went down that day was NANCY PELOSI’S fault. From NOT asking for National Guard help to letting ANTIFA and BLM TERRORISTS into the Capitol building. That includes using the Democraps GESTAPO(FBI Agents) to cause trouble outside. Even Ashli Babbit’s MURDER was NUTSY PELOUSY’S FAULT.

  3. So rich. She wants to point out that the newest revelations about what really happened, or didn’t happen, are coming from Republicans. It was this Speaker who convened a nearly completely partisan Jan6th committee, who barred testimony from some witnesses, hid other witnesses from her committee, locked-down the video and hid it from public view, and pushed a completely falsified narrative of what occurred that day. Not at all surprised that George gave her the platform to do it. After all, they are good friends. After she was voted out of office, and a new Speaker released the video, we can now see we were lied to for years. Many Americans quickly picked up on the soundbites being used on Jan7th. All the alphabet networks were using the “insurrection” term first thing that morning. Same reason the real video was being withheld from public view.

  6. Its hard to listen to this woman”s lies. I did not watch the entire clip, but her appearance on tv was to exonerate her actions on Jan 6. So why are the protesters still locked away under unbearable conditions in jails. She should have been protecting these protesters, but no, through entrapment by planting federal agents who to all accounts created the whole scenario of violence, she condemned her own people – other Americans.

    1. We couldn’t agree more! I think the media has tried to steer people away from the truth. I know we get hit by censorship constantly but they can’t stop the truth! Not as long as we the people keep saying it.

    1. Absolutely. Our power is still in the vote. They want you to feel hopeless so you don’t get out in vote but I hope everyone exercises that right. Nationally and locally. Keep faith. The tides are turning and more voters are motivated to make real change.
