Pelosi insisted Trump had to ‘pay a price’ for Jan. 6 in unreleased footage
Pelosi also lashed out at the idea that anyone expected MAGA fans to “act civilized,” according to the video taken as she was whisked away from the Capitol as the angry mob began infiltrating the congressional building.
“How many times did the members ask, ‘Are we prepared? Are we prepared?’” Pelosi was filmed saying as she was escorted from the Capitol. “We’re not prepared for the worst. We’re calling the National Guard. Now? They should have been here to start out.”Pelosi said that Congress was not prepared for the riot and that National Guard should have been at the building “at the start.”“We have responsibility, Terri,” Pelosi fumed.
When McCullough explained that the National Guard believed they had “sufficient resources,” the then-House Speaker shot back: “It’s not a question of how they had … they don’t know! They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”“It’s stupid. They thought they had what? They thought these people would act civilized? They thought these people gave a damn? What is that is missing here in terms of anticipation,” Pelosi added.
The release of the footage comes as House Republicans — led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk –continue to examine the findings of the now-disbanded Jan. 6 select committee.
