Graham on security for Capitol Hill during riot: ‘Where was Nancy Pelosi?”
Hot Air ^ | January 18, 2021 | Karen Townsend

Senator Lindsey Graham targeted Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the lack of security on Capitol Hill during the riot on January 6. He noted it is her job to provide Capitol security. While many people blame President Trump for inciting violence during his rally with supporters, including Pelosi, it is a twist for the speaker ( to be blamed) for allowing the mob to take over the Capitol.

To see people come and take over the Capitol – the House and the Senate – beat officers, defile the seat of government. How in the hell could that happen? Where was Nancy Pelosi? It’s her job to provide Capitol security,’ the South Carolina Republican, and staunch ally of President Donald Trump said during an interview on ‘Sunday Morning Futures.’

He added: ‘We’ll get to the bottom of that.’

As Speaker Ms.Pelosi is responsible for all security...the Capitol police, what have they to say....here is one version:

(Top Lawmakers Not Told...)

(Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund Defends...) Pelosi fails...

Except for BLM & antifa members mixing it up, there was no pillaging or burning of property, there was no RIOTING...just Americans exercising their rights at their house....a palace paid for with their taxes. Pelosi and media made it sound like the Speaker and all Progressives who encouraged Pelosi's Brown Shirts - BLM&antifa, to burn and loot this past summer were in fact doing the same thing at the White House. Far from it. Where was Madam Speaker whose job it it to provide security....

Is this Babylon Bee? It sure as hell should be with that comment by Graham. The only bottom Lindsey Graham ever gets to is the bottom of his latest male sex partner.

‘Nobody’ in Congress should have the responsibility of the Capitals security forces....especially those as Pelosi, with dementia! That should be Homeland security.

Congress never does anything well nor effectively.

True but try to change that. Congress loves having their own 2000 member police force answerable to them. They wouldn’t give that up easily.

Lindsey is always good for a laugh after the left gets repressive, oppressive and lawless.

Lindsey Graham: “I will prosecute and hold those responsible! This time for sure! I give you my word!”
