Nancy Pelosi blasts 'outrageous and inexcusable FAA mistake' that led US Capitol police to issue evacuation order over harmless military flight dropping Army skydivers at Nationals baseball game

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is blaming the Federal Aviation Administration after the US Capitol Police evacuated the Capitol complex in an embarrassing mix-up over a plane carrying US military skydivers.

Capitol Police on Wednesday evening falsely identified the small aircraft as a 'probable threat,' when in reality it was carrying an Army Golden Knights demonstration team parachuting into a nearby Washington Nationals game.

'The Federal Aviation Administration’s apparent failure to notify Capitol Police of the pre-planned flyover Nationals Stadium is outrageous and inexcusable,' Pelosi said in a statement.

The unnecessary panic caused by this apparent negligence was particularly harmful for Members, staff and institutional workers still grappling with the trauma of the attack on their workplace on January 6th,' the top House Democrat added.

A spokesperson for the FAA told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'The FAA takes its role in protecting the national airspace seriously and will conduct a thorough and expeditious review of the events this evening and share updates.'

'We know our actions affect others, especially in our nation's capital region, and we must communicate early and often with our law enforcement partners,' the agency added.

I get the feeling that the capitol police don’t like Pelosi very much. Maybe this had something to do with Jan 6?

The incompetence of the federal government knows no bounds.

With that said, I am sorry to say, I have heard no reports of any federal employees or (especially) politicians dying from heart attacks brought on by fear or PTSD from reliving Jan 6

Remember when Trump cancelled Nancy’s flight and they drove around in circles on the bus ?

Nancy likely has a fear of paratroopers dropping in on her front yard.

Of course. Politics first. At her age, I wouldn't expect her to put "plane threat" and "Capitol" together and come up with September 11th, 2001. This witch needs to quietly wander off into the woods.

We need to look at the staff who incorrectly cried wolf.

Are these people the best and brightest? Or were they selected because they had the right pronouns?

Her personal police department is as incompetent and lazy as the rest of the federal work force.

She’s upset she had to stumble away from her liquor cabinet earlier than normal.

Oh please. How long are they going to carry on about that?

Read my mind. Nancy Pelosi REFUSED additional protection on Jan. 6th. She’s the one who should be prosecuted!
