Republicans ever changing story on the Jan.6th i**********n.
first It happened and many said it was trump's doing
next it was it happened but it was A****A
next it was it happened but it was peaceful
next was it just didn't happen and no one was to blame
now it's back to it happened but it's Pelosi's fault.
Republicans need to get their story together and at least hold it together for a month or so but they will continue gaslighting their followers into believing any garbage they put out. They're all guilty of allowing this to happen and trying to cover it up only to advance their own political careers.

For months, Republican leaders have downplayed the J*** 6 assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. But on Tuesday, ahead of the first hearing of a special committee to investigate the r**t, they took their approach to new and misleading extremes, falsely blaming Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the violence.

“The American people deserve to know the t***h that Nancy Pelosi bears responsibility as speaker of the House for the tragedy that occurred on J*** 6,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the party’s No. 3 leader.

It amounted to an audacious attempt to rewrite the history of the worst attack on the Capitol in two centuries and preempt the damning testimony of four police officers who were brutalized by the mob of Donald Trump’s supporters. Here’s how Republicans twisted the facts.

Pelosi is not responsible for securing the Capitol.

Looking past the motivations of the mob or Trump, Republicans said it had been up to Pelosi and her leadership team to protect the Capitol from the attack, particularly given that intelligence gathered in the weeks before it occurred pointed to the potential for violence against Congress.

“On J*** 6, these brave officers were put into a vulnerable, impossible position because the leadership at the top has failed,” said Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader.

Pelosi has considerable influence as the speaker, but she is not responsible for the security of Congress. That is the job of the C*****l P****e, an agency Pelosi only indirectly influences. Most decisions about securing the Capitol are made by the C*****l P****e Board, a body that consists of the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms and the Architect of the Capitol.

Pelosi shares control of the Capitol with the Senate majority leader, who at the time was Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Republicans have made no attempt to blame McConnell for the security breach or for failing to prepare for attack.

That charge also contradicts a bipartisan report produced by a pair of Senate committees that found evidence of systematic failures across American intelligence, military and law enforcement agencies, which misjudged the threat leading up to J*** 6 and were not properly trained to respond to it.

It also flatly contradicted congressional testimony, news reports and public accounts of that day, when Pelosi herself was one of the prime targets of the r****rs, some of whom stalked the halls of the Capitol chanting ominously, “Nancy… Where are you. Nancy?”

Pelosi does not control National Guard requests for the Capitol.

McCarthy and others said that Pelosi had refused pleas by the C*****l P****e to provide backup, like the National Guard, ahead of J*** 6.

But the speaker of the House does not control the National Guard. And while Congress could have requested support in advance, that decision lies with the C*****l P****e Board, not the speaker.

Members of the C*****l P****e board have provided conflicting accounts of a debate that occurred on Jan. 4 over whether to request the help in advance. Steven A. Sund, then the chief of C*****l P****e, has said he asked the board for the preemptive assistance but was rebuffed.

Among the reasons cited, Sund said, was a concern by the House sergeant-at-arms, Paul D. Irving, about the “optics” of bringing in reinforcements. Stefanik falsely attributed that concern to Pelosi, whose aides have said she only learned of the request days later.

A Times investigation detailed why it took nearly two hours to approve the deployment on J** 6. After r****rs breached the Capitol, Sund called Irving at 1:09 p.m. with an urgent request for the National Guard. Irving approached Pelosi’s staff with the request at 1:40 p.m., and her chief of staff relayed it to her at 1:43 p.m., when she approved it. But it would be hours more before Pentagon officials signed off on the deployment and informed the District of Columbia National Guard commander that he had permission to deploy the troops.

Several days before the 6th, the chief of the C*****l P****e personally notified the MOA of both houses that in view of the expected size of the crowd, he felt he did not have the manpower to handle it, he requested that the SOH and SML seek authorization for the deployment of NG troops. His request was denied. The day after the event, he resigned, as did both of the MOAs.

President Trump DID NOT call for anyone to "stop the steal", he called them to peacefully protest against a c**p.

The assault on the Capitol building was not an attempt to take over the federal government, it was an attempt to prevent a political movement diametrically opposed to our Constitution and alien to our American way of life from taking over our government.

Your argument is ridiculous first Congress does not control the National Guard, that would be the Pentagon and the Pentagon took it's directions from president trump.
The only attack on our Constitution was the attack on the Capitol and the fact the peaceful t***sition of power was attacked by trump himself. You and your trump lackeys can't undo what happened that day and it will go down in the History books as the second breach of the capitol building in the history of the United States. The first came from foreign enemies of the USA and the second came from domestic enemies the USA and no amount of gaslighting from you or republicans will ever change that..

The Chief was merely passing his request up the C-O-C. The Pentagon also downplayed the request.

The attack on the Capitol building was in defense of our Constitution.

Now tell us all about the "peaceful" t***sition of power that began the day Donald Trump was elected and apparently has no end in sight.

And, while you're at it, explain why you swear allegiance to a political party rather than to our Constitution and the nation as a whole.

I think it was Thos. Jefferson who said from time to time it is the people's responsibility to revolt.

Have you sworn the oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic?

Does support and defense of our Constitution sometimes require violence?

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. . .

FYI: after the above was written, a war was necessary in order to accomplish the goal of separation from a tyrant.
And, here we are again, our nation, our people, our Constitution threatened with tyranny.
