According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who reportedly sought a pardon from failed ex-president Donald Trump for her role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is “complicit” in the insurrection that left five dead.
Greene made her absurd allegation on Twitter, writing, “1,000 people have been charged for J6, with possibly 1,000’s more to be charged. Most of these people were nonviolent. But Nancy Pelosi refused to bring in the National Guard ignoring Intel briefs & requests for the NG by Capitol Police and Pres Trump. Pelosi is complicit.”
As you’d expect, Greene’s posting is 100% false, and the person who could have called for National Guard troops to be deployed in order to help quell the rioting was none other than Donald Trump, who sat and watched the violence unfold on television and waited hours before finally posting a video online telling the attackers to go home. In that same video, Trump also told the rioters that he loved them and called them “very special.”
Greene’s revisionist version of history was met with disgust and mockery online, where one person asked, “Are you stupid or what.”
