A newly surfaced video has sparked controversy as it reveals former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting to her role in the insufficient security measures at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. This revelation challenges the mainstream narrative and highlights potential failures in leadership from key Democratic figures.
Video Sheds Light on Pelosi’s Role
The video, released by the House Oversight Committee, shows Pelosi stating, “I take responsibility.” This statement is echoing through political circles and has intensified ongoing claims that Pelosi and Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declined offers for National Guard support prior to the riot. Reports suggest that both were warned about potential violence weeks ahead but chose to disregard these warnings for political reasons.
???? Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

Possible Miscommunication with Capitol Police Chief
Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund had previously testified that his requests for permission to have the D.C. National Guard on standby were denied. This raises questions about who was responsible for the security breach. Former Capitol Police Chief Sund also stated that he had three separate calls with Pelosi on January 6, a claim which Pelosi has consistently denied.
Questions Surrounding Security Preparations
In 2022, John Solomon from Just The News reported that the Capitol Police were warned about potential violence two weeks before the planned rallies. Despite these warnings, security preparations remained minimal. Critics argue that Pelosi’s motivations were political, aiming to let the chaos unfold to tarnish President Trump’s reputation.
The Role of Pentagon and D.C. National Guard
Whistleblowers from the D.C. National Guard testified that under General Mark Milley’s direction, the Pentagon refused to deploy troops until after 5 PM on January 6. This delay allowed the chaos to escalate. If Pelosi had allowed for National Guard presence from the start, could the tragic events of that day have been prevented?
Unraveling of Leadership Failures
As more information comes to light, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the failures on January 6 were not solely due to Trump’s rhetoric but also because of critical lapses in leadership and judgment from key Democratic figures like Pelosi. Americans deserve answers as this revelation is not just another footnote in the ongoing debate over January 6 but a significant insight into those who were supposed to protect the Capitol.
