Ron Johnson says there was no insurrection.
Johnson, of course, is one of the worst Trump lickspittles in the senate.

Not only is Johnson trying to rewrite history, so are more Republicans, including the usual Trump colon residents.

Four House Republicans sent a letter to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday, suggesting she may have been involved in delaying the deployment of National Guard troops both before and during the Capitol siege, a claim the House speaker’s office quickly bucked as a “partisan” attack.

The letter from Republican Reps. Rodney Davis (Ill.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), James Comer (Tenn.) and Devin Nunes (Calif.) suggests Pelosi wielded influence over the security decisions before and during the Jan. 6 attack due to her “enormous institutional responsibilities” and involvement in “all operational decisions made within the House.”

The lawmakers suggest that Pelosi was involved in denying a request former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund claimed to have made for National Guard troops prior to the attack, though it has been reported that Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving did not consult with Pelosi about the decision.

“The response from the [sergeant-at-arms], acting on your behalf, was that the ‘optics’ of the National Guard on-site were not good and the intelligence didn’t support the move,” read the letter.

The lawmakers also claim Pelosi may have played a role in delaying the deployment of troops while the pro-Trump mob was inside the building on Jan. 6, saying “it took over an hour” for Sund’s request to be approved “because the [sergeant-at-arms] had to run the request up the chain of command, which undoubtably included you and your designees.”

Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, labeled the claims baseless in a statement to Forbes, accusing the members of a “transparently partisan attempt to lay blame on the speaker” and highlighting the fact that the letter does not question Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about his involvement in the parallel decision by his chamber’s sergeant-at-arms to reject Sund’s appeal.

Did Nancy Pelosi refuse security for the Capitol on January 6 because she knew what was coming, and wanted to put the blame on Trump?
 
I think Nancy Pelosi would much rather there weren't a mob inside the capital at all that day. You know, the bit about how everyone was worried that if there were a serious incident it could interfere Biden's transition?

Just askin' questions there, Dinesh?

What an ass. This attempt to shift blame from Trump to Pelosi is just pitiful.

Because she wanted to be in a small confined space with Republican asses who refused to wear masks in close quarters.

the perfect entrapment: give someone the opportunity to kill you, and if they do, you have them right where you want them!
