Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi shoulders much of the blame for the security breakdown at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a preliminary report from Republican investigators Reps. Jim Banks and Rodney Davis determined.
The Capitol Police (USCP) were half-staffed on Jan. 6, Pelosi’s House Sergeant at Arms denied multiple requests for National Guard assistance from the Pentagon and the USCP Chief in the days leading up to Jan. 6, officers were poorly equipped and had insufficient riot shields and helmets, and they were never trained to handle a riot even after the riots of 2020, the investigation shows, according to Banks.
The Republicans’ full report is not slated to be released for a few weeks but Banks and Davis said the hyperpartisan Jan. 6 Committee’s attempt to present a “slanted viewpoint as if it were impartial fact” prompted them to release their findings that “will help Americans understand the extent of the Committee’s misrepresentations and omissions.”
“The Committee has lied and made numerous unsupported and disputed claims that have been thoughtlessly parroted by their media and ‘fact-checking’ allies,” said Banks and Davis.
Despite the J6 Committee’s attempts to blame the Capitol riot on former President Donald Trump and election integrity supporters, the GOP members found that Pelosi, who is responsible for Capitol security according to House rules and has led the Democrat majority for years, repeatedly failed to implement necessary improvements to the Capitol’s security system.
“This inaction left the Capitol unnecessarily vulnerable,” Banks and Davis noted.

The more you learn about J6, the more you realize how big a fraud Dems’ Committee really is. @mzhemingway https://t.co/VDD5RbL4j6— Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) June 23, 2022
Of course she is.
And of course the violence was just what they wanted and needed. Keep in mind that Ted Cruz was just starting the Constitutional process required to examine and possibly set aside EC votes when the violence broke out.
Who benefitted from the process being stopped? That’s right; the Democrats and Biden.
Blaming Pelosi is still accepting and disseminating the Ministry of Truth narrative.
Locking doors worked in Uvalde, too… /s
” her decision to allow this was not via email or even phone”
Don’t communicate by email, phone or even voice if you can do it with a wink of the eye.
Pelosi and others knew that there would be trouble on January 6th, because they planned it or at least knew about it beforehand. They are either co-conspirators or accessories before and after the fact.
Davis has failed Republicans many times.
When I went to his office for an appointment, he had an aide— who seemingly had some authority—that was dressed head-to-toe in partial face-covering, colorful Muslim garb. Mind you, this is in central Illinois, where the percentage so dressed is certainly less than 0.0001%.
Me thinks Rodney accepted a sizeable campaign contribution that has generally been kept from view for this.
Don’t hold your breath.🙄
That’s as bad as finger Prince.😏
Pelousy has no shame.
