SHOCKING REVELATION: Did Nancy Pelosi Sabotage Capitol Security on Jan. 6? Ex-Police Chief’s Explosive Claims Ignite Firestorm! 

In a jaw-dropping twist that has set social media ablaze, former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has unleashed a scathing rebuke of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of denying critical National Guard support during the chaotic January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The bombshell allegations, which surfaced through a report by Christina Aguayo News, have reignited fierce debates over who bears responsibility for the security failures that day, with Sund’s claims directly contradicting Pelosi’s narrative. His stunning accusation? “When I needed help, it was denied.” This explosive revelation has sparked a firestorm of controversy, with netizens on platforms like Threads buzzing with heated discussions, some even questioning if Pelosi orchestrated a deliberate security lapse to pin the blame on former President Donald Trump.

Sund’s allegations paint a damning picture. According to the former chief, on January 3, 2021, he urgently requested National Guard assistance to bolster Capitol security in anticipation of potential unrest. However, he claims that Pelosi’s Sergeant at Arms, Paul Irving, denied the request, citing the need to “run it up the chain” for approval—a process that Sund says stalled critical preparations. “Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval,” Sund stated, emphasizing his legal constraints. Even more shocking, Sund revealed that the Pentagon, under Trump’s administration, offered National Guard support that same day through Carol Corbin, but he was forced to decline due to lack of authorization from Pelosi’s camp. “Despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes,” Sund added, describing the delay as a catastrophic failure that left the Capitol vulnerable.

Pelosi, on the other hand, has repeatedly claimed that she and other congressional leaders “begged” Trump to deploy the National Guard on January 6 as the Capitol was under siege. In recent statements, she accused Trump of delaying the Guard’s deployment during the violent attack, contrasting it with his swift activation of the D.C. National Guard in 2025 to combat crime in Washington, D.C. “Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake,” Pelosi said, suggesting that Trump’s current actions are a distraction from his “incompetent mishandling” of issues like tariffs, health care, education, and immigration. But Sund’s account flips this narrative on its head, alleging that it was Pelosi’s team, not Trump, who stonewalled the Guard’s deployment.

Adding fuel to the fire, Sund pointed out a glaring inconsistency in Pelosi’s actions. While she allegedly blocked National Guard support on January 6, just two weeks later, on January 20, 2021, a staggering 25,000 National Guard troops were deployed to secure President Joe Biden’s inauguration. “When it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops,” Sund remarked, highlighting what he sees as a double standard. This stark contrast has fueled speculation online, with some users on Threads and other platforms suggesting that Pelosi’s decisions were politically motivated to undermine Trump and shape the narrative around January 6.

The controversy has been amplified by conflicting reports and fact-checking efforts. Multiple outlets, including PolitiFact and the Associated Press, have debunked claims that Pelosi had the authority to directly deploy the National Guard, noting that only the president, defense secretary, or U.S. Army secretary can activate the D.C. National Guard. Records show that Pelosi approved a request from the House Sergeant at Arms to contact the Pentagon for Guard support at 1:40 p.m. on January 6—about 30 minutes after rioters breached the Capitol—but Pentagon delays meant troops didn’t arrive for another four hours. Footage from HBO, filmed by Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra, captures Pelosi expressing frustration over the lack of preparedness, saying, “I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.” Critics argue this admission implicates her in the security lapses, while her defenders insist it’s been taken out of context to push a misleading narrative.

Social media reactions have been nothing short of explosive. Conservative commentators like Greg Price and Charlie Kirk have seized on the footage, with posts on X claiming it exonerates Trump and proves Pelosi’s culpability. “Trump was right … AGAIN,” one user declared, while another called the revelations “complete EXONERATION for Trump.” Meanwhile, Pelosi’s supporters have pushed back, arguing that the clips are cherry-picked and that she was a target of the rioters, not their enabler. The debate has spilled over into Threads, where users are dissecting every detail, from the legal nuances of National Guard deployment to the political motivations behind Sund’s statements. The hashtag #PelosiJan6 has trended, with some posts racking up thousands of likes and shares, driving curiosity and clicks to news outlets covering the story.

The timing of Sund’s accusations couldn’t be more contentious, coming as Trump faces ongoing scrutiny over his role in January 6 and his recent moves to federalize D.C. law enforcement. For many, the question remains: Did Pelosi’s actions—or inactions—contribute to the chaos that unfolded? Or is this a calculated attempt to rewrite history and deflect blame from Trump? As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: this shocking revelation has struck a nerve, ensuring that the events of January 6 remain a lightning rod for controversy. Buckle up—this story is far from over, and the internet is buzzing with anticipation for what
