‘Shut Up!’ Pelosi Melts Down On Reporter Who Challenged Her

“Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people,” Sund said in a scathing statement.

He then recounted how on January 3, 2021, just three days before the riot, he formally requested National Guard support.

That request, he says, was shot down by Pelosi’s own Sergeant at Arms.

“Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval,” Sund explained.

“That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority,” he added.

When January 6 chaos erupted, Sund said he begged again for the Guard — and was stalled for over an hour.

“While the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, ‘running it up the chain’ for your approval,” Sund wrote.

He then accused Pelosi of hypocrisy: “When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.”
