"What two people inside the Capitol were armed?"-dishonestjohnfuckhead
Two? It was far more than two.
There were the ones with the fire extinguishers, the ones with the Trump and Confederate flag poles used to attack police, the ones with pepper spray, the ones with the baseball bats and ax handles, the ones wielding torn out metal railings, the ones that broke windows to crawl into the House chamber (they didn't use their bare hands), the one in Pelosi's office with the ZAP Hike N Strike 950,000 Volt Stun Gun Walking Stick that delivers 950,000 volts, the ones wielding police-style batons and captured police shields used to assault police, the one with the hockey stick, the one with the sharpened pole, the one carrying a bundle of zip tie handcuffs, and the list goes on.
Why are you still trying to excuse the violent rioters who injured 150 police that day, johnny?
"Trump wanted to call out the National Guard, so why didn't Pelosi do that?"-dishonestjohn
Because the simple fact is the Speaker of the House doesn't have the power to call out the National Guard, dimwit, and you know it. You know it and you still blame her for not doing something beyond her power. That's just more of your made up partisan shit.
"While the Capitol police, D.C. metropolitan police and Speaker of the House called early on for more Guard assistance, such authority rests with only one person — the president. That call by the commander-in-chief was conspicuously absent.
"...while reports circulated about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser requesting the Guard to help restore order, only the president, or his secretary of defense, may order it to do so. The D.C. mayor has no authority and is not in the chain of command of the D.C. Guard."
So why did you lie about what "Trump wanted", johnny? He clearly DIDN'T want it or he would have ordered it.
The real question IS "Why didn't Trump do it?" instead of cowering in the White House watching TV? He had the power, but he refused to use it, probably hoping for the death of Pence and/or Pelosi. But you won't ever ask that question, will you, johnny.
