Fact Check: Nancy Pelosi Claims Trump Refused National Guard to Capitol

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.

It was the capital and she was the speaker at the time.

Still, the speaker does not have the authority to override the president.

This is fantasy.

No wonder everyone hates legacy media!
