‘SHUT UP!’ Enraged Nancy Pelosi goes ballistic when asked why she refused to call in National Guard on Jan. 6

By Joe Kovacs

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., went ballistic on a reporter Wednesday when she was confronted about her role in the Capitol mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, and why she did not have the National Guard present to quell violence.

Outside the Capitol, the former speaker of the House was asked by Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV: “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that?

“Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day?

“Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?”

Pelosi, who was obviously disturbed by the questions, snapped at Steinberg.

“SHUT UP!” Pelosi screamed as she pointed her finger at the correspondent.

“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?”

🚨 WOW! Nancy Pelosi just LOST IT and told LindellTV reporter @alisonintheknow to “SHUT UP” when she asked Pelosi about her role in J6

We need a NEW, FULL investigation into J6.
