Moments after being whisked away from the U.S. Capitol after it was breached on Jan. 6, 2021, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was captured on videotape declaring "I take responsibility" for failing to have a better security plan for the complex that fateful day, according to footage released Monday by House GOP investigators.
“We have responsibility, Terri," Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.”
Pelosi also said: “You’re going to ask me – in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff – ‘should we call the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard?’ Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”
McCullough, replied as the speaker’s SUV raced through an underground parking garage: “They thought that they had sufficient ... resources."
Pelosi responded, clearly frustrated: "No, that’s not a question of how they had ... they don’t know. They clearly didn’t know. And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
Pelosi seemed to be referring to congressional leaders, and McCullough seemed to be referring to the U.S. Capitol Police force.
You can watch the video footage here.
The footage was recorded by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra, who helped HBO shoot a documentary about the Jan 6 riot. But the video was not aired in its entirety until Monday, when Republicans on the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee released it after obtaining it from the TV network.
Pelosi's reaction to the Capitol riot depicted in the footage was reported by Politico on Sunday. However, some of the key quotes above were not included by the outlet, which reviewed the footage independently.
"Numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed that Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination. Cherry-picked out-of-context clips don't change that. Three years later, House Republicans are still trying to whitewash January 6th. It’s shameful, unpatriotic and pathetic," a spokesperson for Pelosi told Just the News.
House Republicans, however, said the footage undercut three years of Democrat-led narrative that Jan. 6 and its failures were the sole responsibility of former President Donald Trump and his followers.
"Pelosi’s J6 Select Committee spent taxpayer’s money chasing false political narratives and using Hollywood producers for their ‘investigation,'" Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., said in a social media post on X. "Her admission of responsibility directly contradicts their own narrative."
Days before Trump had okayed up to 20K National Guard to be present. Both Nancy & Mayor Browser rejected it. More play acting by Pelosi.
What does this mean? Nanzi is passing gas again?

Bump
Perhaps we now have the summer surprise leading into the October surprise.
Let’s hope that the Republicans know how to grind the sausage to get the fax out.
Elise Stefanik has said she blames Pelosi for J6. Pelosi KNOWS Stefanik is after her and that the pit bull will grab her by the neck. Pelosi is scared sh$tless. LOL
“What does this mean? Nanzi is passing gas again?”
No Pelosi is passing fecal matter…
Why did Democrats overreact to J6th?
They had just overtly stolen a Presidential election and believed the protestors were coming to Lynch them.

The 200 political prisoners rotting in the DC Gulag were unavailable for comment.
The Deep State ran out the clock.
Like Fauci, the impact is gone and nothing will be done.
Will it ever be aired on major networks?
Pelosi is a queen in DC. GOP should have fought the illegal J6 Committee
I guess in retrospect, the corruption was similar. We did not know at the time of how extensive it was in 2020.
They're all part of the same party. They are bribed by the Deep State (Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy) and if that does not work, then they are blackmailed.
You have a couple of guys in the Freedom Caucus who's solid. Then Rand Paul in the Senate. But even Rand got his @$$ beat up by his neighbor in Kentucky.
“Both Nancy & Mayor Browser rejected it. More play acting by Pelosi.”
Is POSSIBLE (not probable) that Pelosi herself didn’t refuse Trump’s multiple offers for security. I’ve heard that it’s really the staffers who run the show at the Capitol. Maybe a staffer refused in a way that Trump inferred it was from Nancy herself.
A staffer could sabotage both Pelosi and Trump in one fell swoop.
January 6th was an intelligence operation.
Nancy was just along for the ride.
DEMOCRATS ARE LAW-LESS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BALL-LESS!
Nothing ever escaped Nancy's rule as Speaker of the House. She's a shrewd evil person.
There's a reason that the J6 committee was a show trial that refused to allow certain people from testifying. Such as the driver of the beast who would have destroyed Cassidy Hutchinson's BS testimony about trump trying to grab the steering wheel to show up at the Capitol.
That's quite a lame dodge.
She needs a hammer to fix it
Democrats do NOT want Stefanik, the pit bull, as Trump’s VP:
