Bbbuutt they keep calling it an “insurrection”. Hey Benito, where was Pelosi on this and why were the NG called off when Trump ordered them 2-3 days BEFORE the fake “insurrection”. Where was she and what did she know? It’s falling apart.
hahahahaha epic backfire in your face.

Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6.
Trump has repeatedly attempted to blame that on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claiming she rejected his request to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of his “Stop the Steal” rally. But Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true.
There is no evidence Trump made any formal request about deploying 10,000 National Guard troops before the rally.A government memo about the events leading up to Jan. 6, statements from Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms
show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally.Drew Hammill, Pelosi's spokesperson, told USA TODAY that Pelosi’s office was not consulted or contacted regarding any request for the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6, and he noted the speaker of the House does not have the power to reject that type of request.
