Pelosi Slams Trump's National Guard Response: 'Something Is Very Wrong'

Pelosi Condemns Trump's National Guard Response to LA Protests, Citing January 6th Inaction Los Angeles, CA – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sharply criticized President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard in response to recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. Pelosi argues that this action stands in stark contrast to Trump’s response to the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. "In a bipartisan way, on Jan. 6, with violence against the Constitution, against the Congress and against the United States Capitol, we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard," Pelosi stated. "He would not do it." The contrasting responses highlight a perceived double standard. While the National Guard's arrival at the Capitol was delayed for hours after the riot began, the deployment to Los Angeles was swift. This discrepancy fuels ongoing debate about the president's handling of national security and political protests. Pelosi's comments underscore the political tensions surrounding these events and the ongoing discussion about accountability for the January 6th attack.
