Trump and his fellow Retrumplicans continue to spread the lie that Nancy Pelosi blocked the deployment of the District of Columbia National Guard on the day of the deadly, Trump-incited Capitol riot. Pelosi did no such thing; she has no authority over the National Guard. By the way, Trump gleefully watched the riot on television and did not issue an order to deploy the National Guard. Mike Pence gave the order.
GOP slapped down again For January. 6 National Guard lie
