To Ari Melber: 10,000 national guard troops 'WERE NOT ORDERED BY TRUMP'

[pbmus]

No proof Trump requested 10,000 Guard troops for Jan. 6 or that Pelosi denied it

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
There is no evidence that Trump made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed for a rally he held that preceded the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

There is no evidence that Pelosi denied such a request.

See the sources for this fact-check
Asked in an interview about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, former President Donald Trump claimed that he had made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed for the rally he led that preceded the attack, and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected it.

His claim was widely repeated on social media.

1. EXACTLY PBMUS!

2. WTF, WHY DOES HE ALLOW THAT BULLSHIT to go unchallenged?

4. I assumed he thought

we all know it is a lie.

3. Repeat after me (for the umpteenth time),

Nancy Pelosi had NOTHING to do with security of the Capitol on that or any other day.

There is no bottom to the barrel of bullshit that the republicans will claim.

[Justice matters.]

5. Does he read DU?

Of course the Big Liar with tens of thousands lies since forever lied again, because it's all he's got to always get away with his crimes scot-free!

6. Why would TFG have asked for troops when his followers

were there for a peaceful rally?
