Nancy wasn't prepared for the peaceful loving protest?

From the right wing talking points: 1) this was not an insurrection it was a peaceful loving protest. 2) What did Nancy know and when did she know it? Why wasn’t Nancy prepared?
This right wing bullshit narrative will be easily shot down!

that nothing happened, and it was Pelosi’s fault for letting it happen.

In all seriousness, McConnell had equal authority with Pelosi, but neither of them were in charge of security. And it was the White House that held back on sending in reinforcements when he situation got out of control.

…which includes the house sergeant of arms that reports to Nancy. But then there is the senate sergeant (McConnell controlled) of arms and then the Capitol architect.
None of these people quote qualify for Trump and Rudy to include in their planning meetings.

6. It's ironic that Trump's base won't see any conflict in these 2 opposing positions.

Not to mention the fact that Speaker Pelosi doesn't get involved with the Capitol Police at the operational level.
Simply a Republican smoke screen.

You can just make up whatever intrinsically contrary/mutually exclusive bullshit you want.

'Being abjectly fucking delusional' is great like that.
