New video footage handed to House Republicans shows then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) taking responsibility for not having the National Guard defend the Capitol building ahead of protests on January 6, 2021.
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, in an effort to get ahead of the fallout over the video, aired it on her show on Monday, but left out the now infamous taking of responsibility.
The film, according to Politico, “was shown in a video shot by the former speaker’s daughter, documentarian Alexandra Pelosi, and recently provided to congressional investigators by HBO.” It was never aired, nor did Alexandra Pelosi provide it to the January 6 Committee when it was supposedly investigating the Capitol riot.
Why would the Speaker of the House have a film crew come in and film a documentary about the congressional certification process? I don’t think that’s ever been done before. It’s almost as if Nancy Pelosi knew something was going to happen and wanted to get it on film.

🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

Gotta give Pelosi credit for taking responsibility in the initial aftermath.
And a HELLUVA LOTTA BLAME for literally everything she had done since to blame Trump/MAGA.

The left-wing media correction has begun.
NEW: Nancy Pelosi lashes out after a video was released of her saying that she "takes responsibility" for not deploying the National Guard on January 6th.

Talk about revisionist history. Pelosi just tried to spin what we all saw and heard in that video. And how come MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski yesterday played the video on a Trump hit piece and took it all the way up to the point where Pelosi takes responsibility and then cuts the scene?
WATCH:
In addition, the January 6 Committee never subpoenaed Speaker Pelosi or her daughter for riot-related papers.
The footage backs up former President Donald Trump’s assertions that Pelosi was guilty for failing to prepare enough security before to the protest. Trump offered the National Guard in the days preceding the “Stop the Steal” March 6, but it was declined.
In an effort to blame the president, Trump was later chastised by critics for not acting promptly to dispatch the Guard during the violence.
In the video, Pelosi laments the lack of accountability for what happened. “We have responsibility, we did not have any accountability for what was going on there. And we should have. … Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”
She goes on to say: “I take responsibility for not having them [National Guard] just prepare for war.”
Pelosi later rejected Republican nominees for minority slots on the January 6 Committee, the first time a majority party leader has done so in congressional history, and instead appointed two anti-Trump Republicans. The end result was a wholly one-sided study that did not examine Pelosi’s involvement in the events.
Despite the investigation’s one-sided nature, prosecutors have utilized the findings in criminal prosecutions against Trump and his allies.
