Capitol Demonstration Question

Here’s a question no one is asking. Why was Trump, leader of the Executive branch, responsible for protecting the Capitol, the home of the Legislative branch? Why aren’t Schumer and Pelosi on the hook for protecting the Capitol? It’s their office building.

It was the job of the capital police. They were overwhelmed by the rioters. They were not prepared for that fight. Trump should’ve called in the National Guard as commander in chief right away.

@Quetzalcoatlus He offered NG, Pelosi refused.

@redredred I didn’t realize Pelosi had the power to order the NG into or out of action. When did that start?
