Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at a reporter who asked why the former House speaker “refused the National Guard” on Jan. 6, 2021 as she was being assisted out of the Capitol Building Wednesday.
Pelosi, who was clutching the hand of an aide as she gingerly navigated the steps of the Capitol, quickly spun around, pointed her finger at the LindellTV reporter’s face and appeared enraged at the suggestion that a new Republican-led committee investigating the riot might find her “liable.”
“Shut up!” Pelosi, 85, barked.
“I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?” she fumed.
