**Disarray in Leadership: Pelosi's Regrets Exposed After Jan. 6 Security Failures**

Newly released video footage reveals a surprising admission from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding her handling of security leading up to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.

In a candid moment captured by her daughter, Pelosi expressed regret for not having the National Guard pre-positioned to ensure the safety of the Capitol and lawmakers on that fateful day.


“We're calling the National Guard now? They should have been here to start out,” Pelosi was heard saying while evacuating through a tunnel under the Capitol.

This revelation starkly contrasts her earlier public statements, where she insisted that she bore no responsibility for security arrangements on January 6.

The top House security officer, Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, reported directly to Pelosi but was dismissed as she pressed for his resignation in the same footage.

“How many times did members ask, are we prepared? Are we prepared? We're not prepared for the worst,” she lamented.

Eyewitness testimonies and government records have long indicated that President Donald Trump’s outgoing Pentagon offered the National Guard to Congress four days prior to January 6; however, these requests were declined.

Ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund testified that he sought National Guard assistance on January 3, only to be turned down by officials concerned about “politics and optics.”

The recent revelations only add fuel to the ongoing debates about accountability in the lead-up to January 6, raising questions about both readiness and the political motives behind the responses to the events of that day.

As more information comes to light, it appears evident that decisions made at the highest levels may have contributed to the chaos that ensued, putting the safety of lawmakers in jeopardy.

With the video now unveiled, it’s clear that the narrative surrounding the Capitol riots is far more complex than initially portrayed, calling for deeper scrutiny into the decision-making processes of the leadership during one of America’s most critical moments.
