Yes she was…

 

“Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6," Trump told NBC’s "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker during a recent sit-down interview at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump declined to answer if he called military or law enforcement that day, saying, "I behaved so well, I did such a good job, Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 soldiers … if she didn’t do that …" Welker challenged Trump that Pelosi did not have the authority he had as commander in chief.

Well I look at it this way....both the House and Senate Sgt at arms are part of a committee that includes the capitol police chief.   They report to the SotH and the majority leader in the Senate.   Pelosi and McConnell could have had the NG there as they are at the top of the food chain so to speak. 

Another fucked up thing with that board is it does not fall under the FOIA or does the Inspector General have to publish its investigative findings.

OH and by the way all three resigned after Jan 6.    

If Trumps pre-rally rhetoric was so inflammatory why wouldn't they have taken that precaution?

I wasn't on the site then. The BLM riots were worse than Jan 6th. Difference is they were not caused by a president who couldn't handle defeat in an election.

No one was posting memes downplaying the BLM riots either, like morons do about J6.

I’ve stated repeatedly my disgust for the rioting and needed use of many many more rubber bullets and all out force needed to stop it, Mr one dimensional. I’d never downplay it as you openly do with J6, which is what this thread is about.

 

 

Pelosi is responsible for a solving a problem that Donnie created. How GOPlike.

Trump Pentagon first offered National Guard to Capitol four days before Jan. 6 riots, memo shows

Official Capitol Police timeline validates Trump administration's account, shows Democrats' fateful rejections of offers. "Seems absolutely illogical," one official wrote about security posture hours before riot began.

On Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, just hours after Gallagher rejected the Pentagon's initial offer, the Capitol Police issued a new and darker security assessment to its commanders and executives and to the two political appointees in Congress responsible for security, the House and Senate sergeants at arms, the timeline shows.

"Due to the tense political environment following the 2020 election, the threat of disruptive actions or violence cannot be ruled out," the new assessment declared. "Supporters of the current president see January 6, 2021 as the last opportunity to overturn the results of the presidential election. This sense of desperation and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent."

Within 24 hours, Sund had changed his mind and began seeking permission from the political powers surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to deploy the National Guard as a preventive measure on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.

https://www.npr.org/2021/01/11/955548910/ex-capitol-police-chief-rebuffs-claims-national-guard-was-never-called-during-ri

The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police says security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in support of President Trump that turned into a deadly attack on Congress.

Former chief Steven Sund -- who resigned his post last week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for him to step down -- made the assertions in an interview with The Washington Post published Sunday.

Sund contradicts claims made by officials after Wednesday's assault on Capitol Hill. Sund's superiors said previously that the National Guard and other additional security support could have been provided, but no one at the Capitol requested it.

Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.

Like Sund, Irving and Stenger have also since resigned their posts.

Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed, he says.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser also wanted a light police presence at the Capitol. She reportedly wanted to avoid a similar scenario as last summer, when federal forces responded to demonstrators opposed to police abuses who assembled near the White House.

During Wednesday's violence, Bowser requested, and received, a limited force of 340 from the D.C. National Guard. Those troops were unarmed and their job was to help with traffic flow — not law enforcement, which was meant to be handled by D.C. police.

When the mob reached the Capitol complex at about 12:40 p.m. ET on Wednesday, it took about 15 minutes for the west side perimeter of the building to be breached, he says. The Capitol Police contingent, which numbered around 1,400 that day, was quickly overrun by the estimated 8,000 rioters.

Poor Thteve too.  Nothing like turning down 10,000 National Guard troops to keep the order, then a day later ringing the capital in barbed wire and stationing 25,000 National Guard troops.  And worse, making the sergeant at arms in the capital police sergeant, among others take the fall. The Democrats are so disgusting and vile.

Is deploying the National Guard to protect the capital something that happens often during presidential changes or was this the first time it was needed?

This is where you post a “it was mostly peaceful meme” and ask why they would have needed 10,000 troops.
