Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed her pride in Vice President Kamala Harris' debate performance and criticized former President Donald Trump for his remarks during the recent debate. Pelosi commended Harris for her presidential demeanor and strategic thinking, describing her as spectacular and eloquent in addressing key issues.
During the debate, Trump falsely claimed that Pelosi was responsible for the lack of security at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and alleged that she rejected his request to deploy the National Guard. Pelosi clarified that as Speaker of the House, she does not have the authority to deploy the National Guard, which falls under the president's jurisdiction. She emphasized that she had urged Trump to send in the National Guard to quell the insurrection, which he eventually did after a delay.
