Meadows rips Pelosi over Capitol security, calls for 'measured approach' to safety
Fox News
Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows pushed back on heightened security at the Capitol building on Wednesday, arguing that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using the National Guard for a 'political statement' instead of safety.
"[Pelosi's] trying to continue to put up not only the fencing but the National Guard and the razor wire here in Washington, D.C., to try to remind Americans that she is now in control. But I can tell you that the vast majority of Americans are telling Speaker Pelosi, 'Tear down that wall.'" Meadows joined calls from Republican lawmakers demanding answers from the House speaker on what she knew and when regarding Capitol security on the day of the January 6 riot. "When the truth comes out, we'll see that indeed there are other decisions that could have been made by Speaker Pelosi and others that weren't made," Meadows said.More Related News
