Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi snaps at Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, when asked about her role in the Capitol mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., went ballistic on a reporter Wednesday when she was confronted about her role in the Capitol mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, and why she did not have the National Guard present to quell violence.

Outside the Capitol, the former speaker of the House was asked by Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV: “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that?

“Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day?

“Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?”

Pelosi, who was obviously disturbed by the questions, snapped at Steinberg.

“SHUT UP!” Pelosi screamed as she pointed her finger at the correspondent.

“I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you’re a serious journalist?”

WOW! Nancy Pelosi just LOST IT and told LindellTV reporter @alisonintheknow to “SHUT UP” when she asked Pelosi about her role in J6

We need a NEW, FULL investigation into J6.

Steinberg replied: “The American people want to know! We still have questions!”

Pelosi then slithered away and Steinberg turned and offered a slight smile to the camera after being repudiated.

As WorldNetDaily reported in August, former Capitol Police Cheif Steven Sund exposed the failures of the California Democrat in January 2021.

“Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people,” Sund began. “On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it.

“Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

“On January 6, 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.

“When I needed assistance, it was denied,” he concluded. “Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.”

Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

President Donald Trump himself called attention to Pelosi’s failure regarding Jan. 6 security, referring to her as a “certain person.”

“You remember I said I offered 10,000 once, remember I said to a certain person, a person who I thought always was highly overrated, not very competent,” Trump indicated.

“But I said, ‘If you need ’em, we’ll give you 10,000 of the military or the National Guard.’ They turned me down.”

As WorldNetDaily reported in June 2024, an explosive video was posted online in which Pelosi was seen admitting “responsibility” for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“This is ridiculous,” Pelosi says in a phone conversation as she’s being chauffeured. “You’re going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff that should we call the Capitol police, I mean the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with? … And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
