Representative Nancy Pelosi has remained adamant that former President Donald Trump was responsible for the events of January 6th, but a recently uncovered video shows her making a different claim.
In the video, taken during the filming of the documentary, Speaker Pelosi claims that she takes full responsibility for the January 6 attack on the Capitol by refusing to deploy the National Guard.
“They captured some pretty interesting details about Nancy Pelosi's thinking,” investigative reporter Steve Baker told “Blaze News Tonight's” Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson.
“At one point she tried to take responsibility for not deploying the National Guard, then quickly changed her tune and started blaming former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund for not deploying the National Guard,” he explained, noting that Sund had sought permission to deploy the National Guard three days before the riot.
“Not only was Pelosi's request three days in advance and Representative Paul Irving rejected it, saying Pelosi would never go along with it, but the reason it took so long to get deployed that day was because the request had been sent all the way up to the Pentagon,” Baker said.
Additionally, Baker noted, he has testimony from people who will provide on the record an account of what happened during the Pentagon conference call that day.
On that conference call, the phrase was coined: “We don't like visuals.”
“So, we don't like the impression that the National Guard is in the Capitol,” Baker said.
“I will disclose that there was a coalition of three or four generals on this call, in fact I know their names, and they were following the direction of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley on this call,” he added.
