US Capitol Police, Washington Metropolitan Police and local officials requested support from the DC National Guard 12 times on January 6 while the Capitol was under attack, the House Oversight Committee Democrats said

RELATED: Meet the internet sleuths tracking down the January 6 insurrectionistsDemocrats on the committee pressed FBI Director Christopher Wray and two Army officials about the response to the January 6 insurrection -- including the time it took for Guard officials to respond to the unfolding attack -- during the committee's latest hearing on the riot.

Piatt and Flynn testified that on a call with DC and Capitol officials, Piatt had explained that he was not denying a request for support as the officials believed but said he had to wait for an answer from Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. In the meantime, they said, they put together a plan for the response. Piatt acknowledged there had been a delay in the time it took to respond, but argued that time was needed to redeploy the Guard members.

I find it hilarious that dems keep saying the gop want to white wash Jan 6th when they refuse to investigate election fraud concerns, ignore Hunter Issues, Ilhan hate speech, Biden CCP financial connections and encouraged BLM terrorism. Pot meet kettle

They were on duty in the City unequipped for battle. The mayor requested a low profile deployment after the BLM embarrassment.

Stop talking about Trump, and lets focus on the numerous problems in the Biden administration. This is all a distraction from the migrant crisis.

Who shot Ashili Babbitt?

Who cares?

Fox News lied for years that Hillary or Obama issued a stand down order. I’m sure they’ll run nonstop speculation that Trump issued a stand down order, right?

Police: Car plows into protesters in Minnesota, killing 1MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A woman was killed and another person was injured after being struck by a car during a protest in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood where a Black man was fatally shot earlier this month during an arrest attempt, police said Monday. Is it legal in Minnesota too? In some states it's legal to hit protestors with your car. Is right to life part of US Constitution? Americans are more worried about unborn then living Which state is this legal in now? GOP made this legal. Why is anyone surprised?😠
