Now, I don’t mind a good lie every now and then but the Democrats are taking this whole thing too darned far.
When I say I don’t mind a good lie, I mean it like this. Say you’ve got a drunk telling a story at a bar about how he once saw Bigfoot, or some old man telling a story about a prank he pulled when he was in the military; that’s fine. I mean more along the lines of an innocent story meant to entertain.
The problem with Democrats is that they are the type of people that lie for purely personal gain and are the type of people that will say whatever they feel the need to in order to advance their agenda. Nancy Pelosi is the worst offender of this.
Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been shown yet again to be a liar after attempting to deny claims made by former President Trump.
According to Pelosi, claims made by Donald Trump about offering to station 10,000 National Guard troops outside the Capitol building on January 6 are “completely made up.”
In an interview with Fox News‘ Steve Hilton, Trump stated that congressional leaders rejected his offer to call on the National Guard to support Capitol police, citing the optics of having troops surrounding the Capitol.
According to Trump, White House officials broached the subject with the Department of Defense days before the storming of the Capitol, warning that crowds may be larger than expected. That warning was passed on to congressional leaders along with the offer, but apparently, Congress chose to ignore it.
“I definitely gave the number of 10,000 National Guardsmen, and [said] I think you should have 10,000 of the National Guard ready,” Trump stated. “They took that number. From what I understand, they gave it to the people at the Capitol, which is controlled by Pelosi. And I heard they rejected it because they didn’t think it would look good. So, you know, that was a big mistake.”
Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s spokesman, told the Washington Post that Trump’s claim was “completely made up.”
Unfortunately for Pelosi, left-wing outlet Vanity Fair had already reported on January 22 that President Trump told acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller that 10,000 National Guard troops would be necessary to secure the Capitol building ahead of the protests.
