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.

LOL, are you a Democratic political operative? I asked due to your posting is so close to how a Democrat would state this situation.
Nancy is the DRAMA QUEEN!
The whole gang is historically greatly inclined to exaggerate possible threats.
You mean like describing a handful of unruly Antifa instigators and a bunch of over zealous patriotic trespassers as an "insurrection"?
“The whole gang is historically greatly inclined to exaggerate possible threats.”
Crystal meth has been known to increase paranoia....maybe a chemistry teacher in DC has a side gig.
;-)
The kings and queens are not amused.
So why didn’t the capitol police contact the FAA to find out about the plane?
I should have added the apparent counter-example of the Pakistani family of shady computer experts. No Botox-infused eyebrows lifted to consider them a possible threat, despite the evidence.
I think we may infer that military types are still stereotyped as right-wingers by Nanzi’s crew.
Don’t tease. How did that go? Don’t remember but it sounds great.
