HBO eventually gave House Republicans video clips from filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi documentaries on the Jan. 6 riot, including her mother, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, taking "responsibility" for inadequate security, including the National Guard not being at the Capitol beforehand. But the cable TV network has still not given an answer about why those clips never made the final cut.
“We're calling the National Guard now?" Pelosi is seen saying in one of the videos, amid the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. "They should have been here to start out."
In another clip, also received this summer by theHouse Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, Pelosi is heard saying about those in charge of Capitol security, "I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more."
The California Democrat's comments appear to undercut a key J6 narrative that then-President Trump was responsible for the Guard not being at the Capitol.
