The high-ranking Democrat accused the reporter of repeating “Republican talking points”
Senior US Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi snapped at a journalist who asked about her conduct during the January 6 riot.
Lindell TV’s Alison Steinberg approached the former House speaker on the steps of the Capitol, asking if she was concerned about the new Republican-led investigation into the January 6, 2021 riot. Pelosi ignored the question.
Steinberg then asked,“Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6?”
“Shut up!”Pelosi replied, angrily pointing a finger in the journalist’s face.“I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points, as if you’re a serious journalist?”she said before walking away.

Democrats have accused President Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection when a group of his supporters stormed the Capitol, briefly interrupting the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
Last month, House Republicans approved a new subcommittee tasked with reinvestigating the events surrounding the riot.
