Nancy Pelosi is in the hot seat again. This time, she’s furiously dismissing an explosive new video that has recently surfaced, shedding light on her role—or lack thereof—in securing the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. During a heated interview on MSNBC, Pelosi downplayed the damning footage and redirected blame squarely onto former President Donald Trump.
The video, recently released by the House Oversight Committee, shows Pelosi taking responsibility for the lack of National Guard presence on January 6th. The footage captures her saying, “We have a responsibility… We did not have any accountability on what was going on there, and we should have.” These words are now echoing through political circles, raising crucial questions about Pelosi’s decisions leading up to the infamous day.
Pelosi’s dismissal of the video as “revisionist history” during her MSNBC rant has only added fuel to the fire. She accused Trump and his supporters of attempting to rewrite the narrative surrounding January 6th. “Well, because the fact is that the President of the United States, the former President, and his toadies, do not want to face the facts,” Pelosi claimed. “They’re trying to do revisionist history on January 6th”.
JUST IN: Nancy Pelosi just went on MSNBC calling the video of her admitting SHE refused to secure the Capitol on January 6th “revisionist history.”

But is this really about rewriting history, or is it about uncovering the truth? Trump has always maintained that he called for peaceful protests and even offered National Guard assistance multiple times prior to January 6th—offers that were reportedly declined by Pelosi and other congressional leaders. Former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund testified that his requests for backup were turned down by security officials who answered directly to Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
In the video, Pelosi appears incredulous as she grills her chief of staff, Terri McCullough, asking why the National Guard wasn’t already deployed. “You’re going to ask me—in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff—‘should we call… the National Guard?’” Pelosi questioned. This scene is a stark contrast to her public stance, where she maintains that Trump’s rhetoric incited the riot and that the real blame lies with him and his supporters.
The timing of this revelation couldn’t be more critical. As the nation inches closer to the 2024 elections, the stakes are higher than ever. Pelosi’s attempt to deflect blame onto Trump doesn’t just muddy the waters; it raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency among our elected officials.
This isn’t the first time Pelosi’s actions have come under scrutiny. From her handling of the Capitol security to her frequent clashes with Trump, Pelosi has been a polarizing figure. But this video throws her role in the January 6th chaos into a new, unflattering light. Was it negligence, political maneuvering, or simple oversight? The American public deserves answers.
As more details emerge, one thing is clear: the narrative surrounding January 6th is far from settled. Whether you view Pelosi as a scapegoat for Trump’s failures or as someone who dropped the ball on one of the most critical days in recent history, this new video adds a crucial piece to the puzzle.
The battle for the truth continues, and the implications are profound. With so much at stake, it’s imperative that we get to the bottom of what really happened on January 6th—and hold those responsible accountable.
