Original Note:
Nancy Pelosi did not refuse to have National Guard at the Capitol on January 6th. The National Guard can only be activated by the president or a governor of a state. Pelosi made repeated requests for the National Guard to be deployed after rioters breached the Capitol. https://thedispatch.com/article/fact-check-did-pelosi-reject-trumps-request-for-national-guard-troops-on-january-6/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-lawmakers-made-urgent-pleas-help-during-jan-6-riot-video-shows-2022-10-13/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jun/13/sean-hannity/no-evidence-pelosi-rejected-trumps-authorization-2/
