I thought I had a lefty when he said there was no order to the National Guard for reinforcements before January 6. The order came from Trump to Pelosi and she declined, I wrote.
Long story short, appearantly there’s no evidence that Trump gave that order to Pelosi according to Washington Post https://t.co/fsdGJhQ62S
I realised I am just taking Trumps word for it as I trust Trump more than probably any source of information in the world. It doesn’t help me in a debate though.
So is there any evidence for this?

But there is proof that the democrat mayor of DC didn't want more officers nor, soldiers in place prior to the demonstrations.
Had Trump put additional troops after being asked by the mayor to not do that, the democrats would have accused him of trying to use the military to intimidate members of congress, and still played the insurrectionist card against Trump, directly.
