Trump says Pelosi is responsible for January 6 debacle, J6 committee wouldn't question her

Donald Trump offered up a strange scapegoat for the Jan. 6 insurrection in a new interview.

The former president accused former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of allowing mobs of violent Trump supporters to overtake the U.S. Capitol by allegedly turning down his offer to activate the National Guard.

Thousands of people descended on Capitol Hill to try and stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, 2021, following Trump’s repeated lies about a stolen election.

A bipartisan Senate report released last June connected seven deaths to that day’s violence, and late last year, the House January 6 committee accused Trump of engaging in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Rioters personally targeted Pelosi on Jan. 6. People stalked the halls of Congress chanting, “Nancy! Oh Nancy! We’re looking for you!” Others vandalized her office and wreaked havoc throughout the building.

But Trump ignored those facts while speaking to Kristen Welker during an interview on “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday.

In a remarkable effort at rewriting history, Trump claimed that Pelosi could have prevented that day’s chaos and violence if she’d accepted Trump’s offer to use the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6, when he planned to host a “Stop the Steal” rally near the Capitol.

The speaker of the House does not control security of the Capitol, nor do they control requests for the National Guard. Those decisions lie instead with the Capitol Police Board, who have offered conflicting accounts of the events prior to and on Jan. 6.

Pelosi responded to Trump’s claims during an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, telling reporter Jonathan Capehart: “The former occupant of the White House has always been about projection. He knows he’s responsible for that, so he projects it onto others.”

BONKERS: TRUMP BLAMES PELOSI FOR JAN. 6!

Just more deranged projection from Trump. He keeps repeating the same lie no matter how many times it's debunked. What do you think?

He is exactly right Lakookta. As usual, you aren't.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

POS scum trump claims it was going to be a peaceful and patriotic march.
Why the need for the NG?

Because KNEW he would incite his goons on J6 and they would attack, and they did.
Trump is 100% responsible for the violence and attempted stop to the transfer of power.

Trump and only trump.

[jbrownson0831]

Has Trump ever blamed himself for anything?

Why would he, hee has done nothing wrong Lakookta.

 

[my2¢]

Congressional investigations are a joke. After paying some attention to Watergate it isn't difficult to figure out they're most often simply political spin. I take a wake-me-when-it's-over attitude on these things, waiting to see what stuck after all the crap has been tossed against the wall. All these investigations against Trump have been especially shameful, and heck, I don't even care for the man.

"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by" - September 2020 - months before his January 6, 2021 Insurrection.

Well... they "stood by" alright.. waiting for the next signal from their Sturmabteilung Fuhrer... a few months later.

All of this happy hor$e$hit about the National Guard on January 6, 2021 simply does not signify.

Instead, non-MAGA (sane) Americans ask themselves: "Why was the Guard necessary in the FIRST PLACE" ???!!!

The answer is: "Because Donald Trump knew well in advance that he was going to summon, incite and aim that attack."

And the Democrats gave Trump enough rope to hang himself with.

Congress doesn’t have control of the military. That’s an executive function and blame for J6 falls directly on Trump for, at worst, planning an insurrection or, at best, doing nothing while “Rome burned”.

The Sgt.'s at Arms of the House and the Senate were partially in control of whether or not National Guard troops would be called up. The President can offer them but those two need to accept the offer. How is it Trump's fault when he offered and the Sgt at Arms for the House didn't accept? How is it Trump's fault when the Capitol Police Chief calls the House Sgt. at Arms 30 times in a little more than an hour on Jan. 6th, begging for National Guard troops and is told that the Sgt at Arms needed to get permission from Nancy Pelosi before he would OK that request?

So let me get this straight...
According to you, Donald Trump planned to "summon, incite and aim that attack"?
Yet he offered to put 10,000 National Guard troops at the Capital and at his speech that day he told the crowd to protest peacefully? Does that make any sense? It's obvious to anyone that's not a Trump hater that Trump didn't want to see violence take place that day. He wanted a protest. A peaceful protest.

On the other hand...people in charge of security that day were warned in advance by the FBI that factions were planning violence. When you say that Democrats "gave Trump enough rope to hang himself with" what you're really saying is that those Democrats with control of security allowed this to happen and were happy that the protest DID turn violent! The Capitol Police Chief wants to know why he wasn't given intelligence reports about the factions planning violence! He'd also like to know why Nancy Pelosi took 70 minutes to OK National Guard troops that day as he was BEGGING the House Sgt. at Arms for that help!

As CiC, the Trumpybear alone could have stopped what he started. But he sat there admiring what he had done.

“There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the event of that day,”

GOP's McConnell: Trump morally responsible for Jan. 6 attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his speech from the Senate floor, Sen. Mitch McConnell delivered a scalding denunciation of Donald Trump, calling him “morally responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S.

“He didn’t get away with anything yet,” said McConnell, who turns 79 next Saturday and has led the Senate GOP since 2007.

WOW.......................

 

[Oldestyle]

First and Last, Nancy Pelosi is not in charge of calling in the National Guard.

------------------------
[ I suggest you find the whole HBO documentary "Pelosi in the House " and show me where Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell or Pence were not trying again and again to have the National Guard or any other organization come to the Capitol ]



On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

Never-before-seen footage, obtained exclusively by CNN, shows how congressional leaders frantically coordinated with former Vice President Mike Pence to quell the insurrection at the Capitol and finish certifying the 2020 election. 
-------------


The January 6 committee played video of House Speaker Pelosi speaking on the phone with vice president Mike Pence as she and other members of Congress hid in the Capitol from pro-Trump insurrectionists. The video was shot by Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, a source familiar tells NBC News.

So you think the former Capitol Police Chief is lying? That he didn't call the House Sgt. at Arms 30 times in 70 minutes frantically trying to get National Guard troops sent to the Capitol? Pretty sure there's going to phone records that will back up or belie that claim. Let's get everyone put under oath and get to the bottom on this then, 60's! Swear them in and ask them how it went down and WHY it went down that way! That's what the committee looking into Jan. 6th SHOULD have been doing but those questions were never asked because that "investigation" was a farce from the start!

Did you have an intelligent response to my point, Smokin'? Or are you just going to spam me with "Fake News" hits and then run away and hide?

 

[Oldestyle]

I didn't think so. What a coward!

That should have been done by a bipartisan commission set up like the 9-11 commission. With both sides having equal representation and both sides having subpoena power. Why did Trumps GOP balk at that type of fact finding commission?

Weird that you don’t care that it took nearly four hours for the troops that Trump supposedly authorized to get to the Capitol.

There is no response.
You're a fucking liar.

Trump never requested SHIT.
IF he did.......10,000 NG would have been at the capitol building.

National Guard is a military function, who's command structure is through the executive, not a rent a cop. Your statement beggars belief.

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

may anyone who loved seeing that girl get shot in the back...may karma do the same to you 5 times over

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

i would be so afraid if i was happy that girl got shot in the back, that my most precious loved female got shot in the back...but it would serve me right for being such an evil scum bag

Are you as dumb as your avatar looks?

You have no idea how I have wanted ask him that question.

They're so ignorant.

One more time for the MAGA impaired.

The Speaker of House (Either Democrat or Republican) has no authority over either U.S.C.H.P. or the Washington, D.C. National Guard.

At the time of 01-06 the D.C. Guard could NOT called by the Mayor of D.C. The authority to activate the D.C. rested with Secretary of Army. On voice command of P01135809, SecArmy could NOT activate the Guard on 01-06. It was law enforcement from Maryland and Virginia that responded to 01-06.

As for the Capitol Hill Police, while the Speaker does sit on the oversight committe for the U.S.C.H.P., she has zero authority over that that organization. The U.S.C.H.P. does not serve at the pleasure of the Speaker. It is in fact an independent law enforcement organization.
