Per Pelosi turned and pointed at the reporter, shouting: "Shut up! That day, it was Trump who did not deploy the National Guard."
According to foreign media reports, on October 15, former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi became angry when asked by a journalist about the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot incident, and demanded the journalist to shut up.
Alison Steinberg from Lindner Television approached the former House Speaker on the steps of the Capitol and asked whether she was concerned about the new investigation led by the Republicans into the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Pelosi ignored the question.
Steinberg then asked, "Why did you refuse to deploy the National Guard on January 6?" Pelosi turned around and angrily pointed at the reporter's face, saying, "Shut up! I did not refuse to deploy the National Guard. It was the president (Trump) who did not send them. Why are you bringing in Republican arguments as if you were a serious journalist?" After saying this, Pelosi walked away.
According to previous reports, on January 6, 2021, supporters of then-president Trump, who questioned the legitimacy of Biden's election victory, stormed the Capitol, causing the certification process of the election results to be interrupted. The event resulted in five deaths, including one Capitol police officer, and about 140 law enforcement officers were injured. This incident marked the first time since 1814 when British forces attacked that the Capitol was occupied.
