The Speaker of the House is in Charge of Capital Security. (Pelosi, conspiracy)

Do most know this? Who is the speaker? Nancy Pelosi is. Why wasn't the national guard called out? Why was the security so lax? HMMMMM Makes you go HMMMMMMM.

Who told the National Guard to stand down. I think Nancy has some explaining to do.

Um no. The commander-in-chief is in charge of mobilizing the national guard.

The Capitol Police requested national guard.

So go see why the national guard wasn't sent. (I'll let you do the research).

I mean, cute little conspiracy theory, though.

Pelosi is in charge so go ask her why they weren't deployed. Who told them to step down? We'll probably never know now.

Once again, she has no authority to call the National Guard.

The DC police has about 2K officers, which, given the fact they have other things to do, didn't have enough numbers to handle the riot.

No, they weren't. If you heard that, you heard wrong.

Yeah, the woman who was being pursued through the halls of the capitol by mobs of MAGAs wanted the National Guard to stand down.

You've outdone yourself here, Janelle, and that's saying something.

Another HMMMMMMM She is Speaker of the House after all. The security people can be thrown under the bus for Nancy.
