House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to have changed her tune when it comes to protecting the nation's capital. Pelosi publicly thanked National Guard troops for protecting "democracy" last Wednesday after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to object to Congress' certification of the 2020 presidential election. "By what authority do these National Guard people come in from other states?" "It was my privilege today to personally thank members of the National Guard who are working protect our nation’s Capitol. Officials have boosted the number of National Guard members deployed in Washington, D.C., to 25,000 in the wake of the deadly riot and continuing threats of domestic terrorism as President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration draws near.
