It seems like former Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is very sensitive when it comes to people questioning her about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Pelosi proved that in spades when a reporter for LindellTV, Alison Steinberg, asked her if she was concerned that the new January 6th committee would "find her liable for that day." "Why did you refuse the National Guard on Jan. 6?" Steinberg asked. That's when Pelosi went berserk.
Pelosi snapped at Steinberg, stabbing her finger at her and ranting, "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 though you're a serious journalist?"
The reporter said, "The American people want to know. We still have questions."
But Pelosi huffed off, leaning on a man's arm for assistance, not offering any further answer to the question.
Looks like Pelosi isn't able to control her emotions anymore. Screaming at a reporter is not a good look, and it tends to make people ask what she's hiding. The reporter smiled at the end as she turned around, realizing she had something good.
LindellTV then posted a replay of Pelosi's comments on the matter on Jan. 6.
"I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war," she said at the time.
President Trump had inquired before Jan. 6 and offered the National Guard. But the Capitol Police turned it down, as former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has said, because they didn't have approval from the Sergeants-at-Arms because of "optics." The then-House Sergeant at Arms, Paul Irving, answered to Pelosi.
Sund said his request wasn't approved for more than an hour on Jan. 6 as the action was happening at the Capitol.

Sund posted on X in response to Pelosi's freakout, laying out the timeline:
Ma'am, let me help refresh your memory. It was your Sergeant at Arms (SAA) who repeatedly denied my multiple requests for National Guard assistance before and on January 6. Even on Jan 6, your Sergeant at Arms denied my urgent requests for over 70 minutes, while he was “running it up the chain” for your approval.
The Pentagon offered National Guard assistance, but I had to decline because your SAA would not grant me the legal authority as required under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970).
As Steinberg noted, there is a new Jan. 6 committee looking into things. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) is heading it up.
Perhaps that's why Pelosi is a bit nervous.
