Talk:January 6 United States Capitol attack

Did Pelosi get told by Trump to have more guards/police/etc.?
Did Pelosi get told by Trump to have more guards/police/etc.? Seems pretty notable if so. But I saw nothing in the article about it by searching for Pelosi. Misty MH (talk) 04:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * This is a common falsehood that has circulated, which is why it's not in the article. See this fact check by the AP. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, he offered National Guard support for DC police but Nancy declined. Eegorr (talk) 03:59, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Or, no he did not. Slatersteven (talk) 12:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * This fact-check by AP provides no evidence or fact that Trump did *not* order more security. It basically just states that the claim Trump did order more security is not true. I have no idea what it relies on. Am I miss reading this right? can someone help me out? Sonderidk 16 June 2024
 * According to testimony, he did not order troops. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * All this time he was being asked and begged by his own people in the White House, and calling from elsewhere, to call off the attackers and call in the National Guard. He refused to act and reveled in watching the violence. That's what sources tell us. I also remember while it was happening, cameras in the White House showed him standing in front of a big TV on a wall, watching the fighting, smiling, and fist-pumping as if he was at an UCF match. His biographers say he has no sense of humor and only shows real joy when domination others, hurting others, or watching them being hurt. He seemed to love seeing the violence he had called for, and he did it knowing that there were people in the crowd with weapons. He had been warned that some of his supporters in the crowd had weapons, but he still demanded the mags be turned off because "those people won't hurt me". -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 16:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't find anything to confirm or deny it. Sounds like he said she said. I do have this where she takes responsibility.

 * Neither of those is a reliable source. The house.gov bit is from a Republican member of the House, not a full committee report, and the other piece is WP:DAILYMAIL. Pelosi did not have the authority to call up the National Guard, only the executive branch has that authority. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:17, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Here's your reliable source:
 * https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/09/chaos-anger-congressional-leaders-jan-6-evacuation-00162424
 * I don't care what your political bias is, this is about 45 minutes of previously unreleased footage of January sixth that was recently discovered. This article is boisterous so I don't see the issue of including documentation of the never before seen footage of the attack, especially since it documents high profile figures throughout the attack.
