CLAIM: “On January 6th…we begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it.”
VERDICT: FALSE. Trump offered the National Guard ahead of time, but Democrats refused. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed Tuesday in a news conference on Capitol Hill that President Trump refused to send the National Guard to protect the Capitol from rioters on January 6, 2021.
She made her remarks among other California Democrats, who called on the President to withdraw the Guard and the Marines from L.A. Some, such as L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, have even said that the president should suspend immigration enforcement as a precondition for ending the violence, as if justifying the riots.
Pelosi repeated several false claims, including the claim that the January 6 riot resulted in the deaths of law enforcement officers. Her main point, however, was that Trump had refused to summon the National Guard.
Her point was to contrast Trump’s supposed refusal to protect the Capitol with his apparent enthusiasm for federalizing the California National Guard in recent days to quell left-wing riots in Los Angeles, California.

That’s pretty shameless... even for her.
She said this at a news conference, not in Congressional business. That means she can be held liable for slander.
Perfect 180° inversion of the truth.
In Vodka Mendacii.
Let’s see if any of the legacy medial reports this.
Lying filthy scum said what?
I think it’s Gin, no one gets that F’d up on vodka.
Hope President Trump sues her.
Nancy and ALL the Democrats THREATENED Trump to NOT send troops into DC to stop the BLM riots shortly before J6!
posse comitatus!!! they screamed over and over
but now after the fact, they want to pretend Trump could have done more sooner.
Supposedly ther is evidence to the contrary. If so, someone in The Stupid Party should offer it up to the media, AND call her out on the house floor. Meanwhile, crickets.
“...federalizing the California National Guard in recent days to quell left-wing riots in Los Angeles, California.”
They blithely lie knowing full well that the MSM will not call them on it and scores of others will repeat it as Gods Honest Truth.
She is on (her daughter’s)video saying that it was her fault she didn’t bring in the National Guard.
I think some of these older politicians seem to forget that the internet exists and it takes about 5 seconds to fact check this stuff. Either that or they are counting on their constituents to be so lazy as to not check the accuracy of politicians’ statements.
I think I might be falling in love with you Nancy.
Pelosi is a liar?
I’M SHOCKED!
At the rate the MSM lies, they won’t be around. Terry Moran at ABC was fired today.
“ She said this at a news conference, not in Congressional business. That means she can be held liable for slander.”
If she said this in the Capitol or while she was traveling to or from the capitol she is completely protected by the US Constitution for anything she says. This is no matter how big a lie and this is a big one. Democrats lie over and over again because they know that any Internet about this will come up with their lies. More people will believe their lie.
How can the speaker override the president ordering the national guard to deploy?
CAPITOL /CONGRESSIONAL GROUNDS
SHE WAS SPEAKER
