"Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that day? began LindellTV's Alison Steinberg. LindellTV is a pro-Trump media network owned by election denier Mike Lindell the My Pillow founder. Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?"
"Steinberg pressed, following Pelosi. Pelosi eventually turned to Steinberg and said, Shut up! I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist? Pelosi added. The American people want to know. We still have questions. Thank you, concluded Steinberg as Pelosi walked off."
"Trump and his allies have long claimed that the president asked for troops to be at the U.S. Capitol or ready to be ahead of his January 6th rally for which he invited his followers to DC, promising it will be wild! Notably, Trump's former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller testified to the House Jan. 6th committee that there was no order to have military personnel ready ahead of Jan. 6."
A pro-Trump influencer from LindellTV confronted Nancy Pelosi on the Capitol steps, pressing whether the January 6 committee would find her liable and why she refused the National Guard. Pelosi responded sharply, saying, "I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it," and accused the influencer of repeating Republican talking points rather than serious journalism. The influencer concluded by saying the American people still have questions. Trump allies long claimed the president sought troops at the Capitol for the rally, but former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller testified there was no order to have military personnel ready ahead of January 6. The D.C. National Guard reports to the President through the Defense Department chain of command.
