CASE CLOSED: President Trump on Jan. 6: “I Authorized National Guard on Jan. 6 – Pelosi Turned It Down” (Video)
Now why, oh why, would Pelosi turn it down? Think libs. Think, think, think.

First of all, the claim that Pelosi "turned down" Trump's offer of National Guard protection on Jan. 6th is a lie.
Secondly, if only the cons had done some proper thinking of their own, they would not have invaded the Capitol in the first place.
How do you know?
He doesn't.
I could well ask you the same question, but I know that you can't answer it.
"Steven A. Sund, then-U.S. Capitol Police chief, Paul D. Irving, then-House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, then-Senate sergeant-at-arms, have all testified about the events of Jan. 6, and none of them insinuated that they were prevented from calling the National Guard by congressional leadership. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also requested for the National Guard to be called in during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. That request was denied by the Pentagon, not Pelosi. Major General William Walker, the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, testified before a House subcommittee that he relayed a request from the Capitol Police for military support to the Army at around 2 p.m. It wasn’t until after 5 p.m., however, that request was approved by the Defense Department."
Did Pelosi Prevent National Guard from Responding to Capitol Attack?
The Speaker of the House does not have control of the National Guard.
Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true. There is no evidence Trump made any formal request about deploying 10,000 National Guard troops before the rally.
Claims that Pelosi was in charge of Capitol security on Jan. 6 have been previously debunked by USA TODAY. The Capitol Police are overseen by the Capitol Police Board and committees from the Senate and House of Representatives.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby had previously looked into Trump’s claim and told The Washington Post in March that “we have no record of such an order being given.”

There was no formal request from either, but that doesn't mean Pelosi was told she could so. Talk about incompetence, since she knew it would happen and that her life was not in danger.Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true.

As opposed to members of the Republican 'base', these were 'independents'. They wouldn't be the ones voting Repub straight down every ballot, every election. That's I think the common meaning of calling someone a Republican. These people liked what the party offered in President Trump, but they weren't members of the party's base.

I kind of feel the same way about anyone who thinks that democracy is in peril, whether or not he did. Because our political situation brushed off last January 6th like a mosquito. Basically nothing happened that day, it was closer to a 'prank' than a real attempt to take power, and all the bluster about it since then is entirely partisan. Basically Democrats trying as hard as they can to use it to win the next election.

'Let's have trial by combat' over election -Giuliani | Reuters Video
U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani at a rally on Wednesday called for "trial by combat" to dispute the U.S. presidential election results.
It was the FBI; and why did Pelosi or someone call the National Guard? Translation: Your story doesn't make sense. As if the dumb actor did it by himself and not with his family.
Omni: "It's the FBI's fault that a mob of Republicans rioted in the Capitol!"
No, Nimrod. It's the Republicans' fault that a mob of Republicans rioted in the Capitol.
The FBI organized it, because Trump is a TV actor, and slight FAS retard. It means he isn't smart enough to have planned it. You are too stupid to admit anything.
