“We're calling the National Guard now?
As she fled the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made clear she did not want to evacuate the building and expressed regret that the National Guard had not been pre-positioned to protect Congress ahead of the contentious certification of the 2020 election results, according to video footage turned over this week to House Republican investigators and obtained by Just the News.
The following morning, the timeline states, "Gallagher replies to DOD via text that a request for National Guard support not forthcoming at this time after consultation with COP Sund."
In the footage, Pelosi can be seen pressing for Irving to resign immediately.
"Carol Corbin (DOD) texts USCP Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher, Protective Service Bureau, to determine whether USCP is considering a request for National Guard soldiers for January 6, 2021 event," the timeline stated in the lone entry listed for Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021.
We're not prepared for the worst,” Pelosi stated on the tape.
In bombshell testimony last year, ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told Congress he wanted the National Guard in advance of Jan. 6 but was denied permission to ask for them by the top security officials reporting to Pelosi and incoming Senate Leader Chuck Schumer.
