Ex-Capitol Police Chief Criticizes Pelosi for Comparing LA Riots to Jan. 6

We reported earlier on Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s unhinged remarks about the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots. 

First, she spoke about how the riots might be the “exuberance of the moment.” That’s a pretty strange way to talk about violent riots. 

When cars are on fire and stores are looted, just remember:

“It may be the exuberance of the moment…” — Nancy Pelosi.

Then she also claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t send out the National Guard on Jan. 6.

“On January 6th… we begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it.”

The National Guard was deployed on Jan. 6. As we’ve previously reported, President Donald Trump had proposed them before that and asked his Department of Defense to ensure things were safe. But they didn’t receive a request from the Capitol Police before Jan. 6.
