A bombshell video has surfaced, revealing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting responsibility for the lack of security at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The footage was released by the House Oversight Committee and has ignited a firestorm of controversy, casting a harsh spotlight on Pelosi’s actions—or lack thereof—during one of the most chaotic days in recent American history.
In the newly released video, Pelosi can be heard saying, “I take responsibility,” a statement that is reverberating through political circles like a thunderclap. This admission comes amid ongoing claims that Pelosi, along with Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, turned down offers for National Guard support prior to the infamous riot. What’s even more shocking? Pelosi and Bowser were reportedly warned about potential violence weeks before the event but chose to ignore these warnings for political reasons.

Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund had previously testified that he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby. His requests were denied, leading to questions about who was ultimately responsible for the breach. Now, with this new video, it seems Pelosi’s role is more significant than she has publicly admitted.
Former Capitol Police Chief Sund also revealed that he had three separate calls with Pelosi on that fateful day. Pelosi, however, has consistently denied these interactions, claiming they never spoke. This discrepancy raises the question: What exactly was Pelosi hiding?
Adding fuel to the fire, John Solomon from Just The News reported in 2022 that Capitol Police were warned about possible violence two weeks before the planned rallies. Despite these red flags, security preparations remained minimal. Why would Pelosi and other top officials decide against bolstering security when there was clear evidence of potential danger? Critics argue that Pelosi’s motivations were purely political, aiming to let the chaos unfold to tarnish President Trump’s reputation.
This revelation is not just another footnote in the ongoing debate over January 6. It challenges the mainstream narrative that places sole blame on Trump and his supporters. Instead, it paints a picture of gross negligence—or worse, intentional disregard—from those who were supposed to protect the Capitol.
Moreover, whistleblowers from the D.C. National Guard testified that the Pentagon, under the direction of General Mark Milley, refused to deploy troops until after 5 PM on January 6. This delay allowed the chaos to spiral out of control. If Pelosi had allowed the National Guard to be present from the start, could the tragic events of that day have been prevented?
Americans deserve answers. As more information comes to light, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the failures on January 6 were not solely due to Trump’s rhetoric but also because of critical lapses in leadership and judgment from key Democratic figures like Pelosi.
