US Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi lashed out at a journalist after she dared to ask about her conduct during the January 6 riot in 2021
Lindell TV’s Alison Steinberg approached the former House speaker outside the US Capitol asking if she was concerned about the new Republican-led investigation into the riot.
Pelosi ignored that question.
RT reports: Steinberg then asked, “Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6?”
“Shut up!” Pelosi replied, angrily pointing a finger in the journalist’s face. “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?” she said before walking away.
Democrats have accused President Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection when a group of his supporters stormed the Capitol, briefly interrupting the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
Last month, House Republicans approved a new subcommittee tasked with reinvestigating the events surrounding the riot.
