There's a bombshell video that has just been released by House GOP investigators about what former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said as she was leaving the Capitol after the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021.
In it, Pelosi takes responsibility for the failure to have adequate security in the place at the Capitol to deal with the riot.
🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

NEW FOOTAGE shows on January 6, Pelosi ADMITTED:
"I take responsibility."

“We have responsibility, Terri," Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.”
Pelosi also said: “You’re going to ask me – in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff – ‘should we call the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard?’ Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”
McCullough, replied as the speaker’s SUV raced through an underground parking garage: “They thought that they had sufficient ... resources."
Pelosi responded, clearly frustrated: "No, that’s not a question of how they had ... they don’t know. They clearly didn’t know. And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
McCullough appeared to be referring to the Capitol Police when she said that "they" thought they had sufficient resources.
The video was taken by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra as part of her HBO documentary. The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee requested the video from HBO as part of their investigation. The material they obtained has never been released before.
Why is this only coming out now? Why did it take so long to get it?
It puts yet another nail in the coffin of the effort to blame former President Donald Trump. Pelosi herself admits her failure for not having accountability for what was going on and says, "we should have."

Pelosi's spokesperson claimed this was a "cherry-picked out of context clip" that "numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed that Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination." Sounds like they're upset that this has finally come out.
Now, the Republicans aren't holding back. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) said this imploded the whole Democratic narrative.
Pelosi’s J6 Select Committee spent taxpayer’s money chasing false political narratives and using Hollywood producers for their ‘investigation.’
