The high-ranking Democrat accused the reporter of repeating Republican talking points

Senior US Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi snapped at a journalist who asked about her conduct during the January 6 riot.

Lindell TV's Alison Steinberg approached the former House speaker on the steps of the Capitol, asking if she was concerned about the new Republican-led investigation into the January 6, 2021 riot. Pelosi ignored the question.

Steinberg then asked, "Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6?"

"Shut up!" Pelosi replied, angrily pointing a finger in the journalist's face. "I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points, as if you're a serious journalist?" she said before walking away.

Democrats have accused President Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection when a group of his supporters stormed the Capitol, briefly interrupting the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.

Last month, House Republicans approved a new subcommittee tasked with reinvestigating the events surrounding the riot.
