‘Shut Up!’: Nancy Pelosi Loses It At Reporter Asking Simple Question About J6

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi raged at a LindellTV reporter on Wednesday who asked if she is concerned about being found liable for not deploying the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021.

President Donald Trump previously asserted that Pelosi turned down his offer to deploy 10,000 troops to the Capitol ahead of the Stop the Steal rally. Outside of the Capitol, Pelosi turned around and pointed a finger in the reporter’s face in response to a question on whether the newly formed January 6 subcommittee would find her liable for allegedly refusing the National Guard’s presence at the Capitol that day.

“Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6 Select Committee will find you liable for that day? Are you at all concerned about the January 6 Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6?” the reporter asked.

“Shut up!” Pelosi snapped. “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’re a serious journalist?”

Pelosi then walked away without answering the reporter’s question.
