As I thought...from your link. Where was Pelosi mentioned?

Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.

Like Sund, Irving and Stenger have also since resigned their posts.

Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed, he says.

Senior Army official Lt. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, director of the Army Staff, said on the call he couldn't recommend that Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy authorize deployment, Sund and others on the call told the Post. Piatt reportedly said, "I don't like the visual of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background," the Post reported.

As the commander-in-chief, Trump is in charge of the country's armed forces and is the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard but not the Capitol Police, who, according to the Capitol Police website is overseen by the four members of the Capitol Police Board, with Congressional oversight.

Not his call.
Who do you think is in command of the military? In the end it would be the president.

Why did it take three hours for the Secretary of the Army to authorize troops? Who does the Secretary of the Army report to? Here's a hint...it ain't Pelosi.

Nobody claimed he was in charge of the capitol police. Why did it take 3 or 4 hours to deploy the national guard?

Fact check: Nancy Pelosi wasn't ‘in charge’ of Capitol Police on Jan. 6

So, Pelosi was only in charge when she told the Chief to step down........damn you'll say anything for a quarter
so that is your answer to being corrected? You were wrong. If you disagree go find a link to prove your case. Anyone could call for the chief to resign. That doesn't mean he reports to that person.

Ask capitol police board who were in charge, and had to turned down numerous requests to have the NG there before it all happened as they could not get congressional approval. Who was in charge of Congressional approval? Oh yeh, Nancy Pelosi. Oh and as for Trump hesitating? Look at the time stamp on this tweet. It wasn't Trump who held back the National Guard. He had suggested they be there in advance of the Rally.

At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services. We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.

Nancy Pelosi was informed in December by intelligence that there might be trouble at the Capitol and she did NOTHING to prepare out Nation's Capitol for it.
“Evidence shows that then-Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving reported to Speaker Pelosi and he denied approval to bring in the National Guard (when asked by Chief Sund) prior to January 6.”

The spokesman, Mark Bednar, added: “The allegation is not that Nancy Pelosi said no National Guard. The concern is that the speaker, as the highest-ranking individual on the Capitol complex, had security responsibility for the Capitol, the security apparatus reported to her — and they said no, prior to the 6th.”

The right is blaming Speaker Pelosi for the MAGAt riot. Too funny.
I am blaming pelosi for neglecting her duty in securing the US Capitol in the face of Thousands of people. You can whine and cry but you have no proof the riot was started by Trump people, when there are facts of anarchists in attendance. See BLM agitator John Sullivan.
