The Spin
Left narrative
Pelosi rightfully shut down a fake journalist spreading debunked Republican lies about Jan. 6. Former Defense Secretary Chris Miller testified under oath that Trump never gave any order to deploy troops before Jan. 6, completely destroying right-wing conspiracy theories. The House Speaker has zero authority to call in the National Guard, only the president does — it was Trump who failed America that day. Enough is enough, Democrats must start calling out Republican lies that twist the truth and poison American democracy.
Right narrative
Pelosi’s outburst shows exactly why she’s dodging accountability for Jan. 6. When asked about the National Guard, she snapped — because the facts are catching up. She’s on tape admitting, “I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war,” yet now blames Trump for her own failures and explodes at reporters asking legitimate questions. Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has confirmed her office denied repeated Guard requests. No amount of shouting “shut up” can erase the truth.
Establishment-critical narrative
Once again, the corporate media proves it serves power, not truth. MSNBC’s Morning Joe dismissed Pelosi’s “shut up” moment as nothing, while Fox News aired LindellTV’s footage but still smeared Mike Lindell as an “election denier.” Both sides profit from outrage while hiding their dependence on the same political establishment. Independent outlets break the stories first — legacy networks just spin them to fit their team’s script.
