Chief Steven Sund

FACT: I made 11 urgent calls requesting National Guard support on Jan 6, starting at 12:58 PM. Approval was withheld for 71 minutes by the House Sergeant at Arms, who reported directly to Speaker Pelosi. She caused critical delays, and now is shifting blame to @realDonaldTrump for failures she helped create. The record is clear.

@mirandadevine Thank you Miranda, I always appreciate your support and fact-finding! It would be nice if Congress or @SpeakerJohnson would acknowledge it.

This is true. @chiefsund did everything right and was thwarted at every turn by Nancy Pelosi (and, by inaction, Mitch McConnell). If he had been given the backup he repeatedly requested, J6 would have been a nothing burger. He was fired by Pelosi to cover up her sin, but he should have his own plaque.

@Chris128000 @SpeakerJohnson Thank you Chris. It would be nice if @SpeakerJohnson would at least acknowledge it!

@ChiefSund This should be documented on the plaque. @SpeakerJohnson please remake the plaque.

Congress just installed a 'Grateful Congress' plaque honoring officers from 19+ agencies who responded on Jan 6. As Capitol Police Chief, I activated mutual aid at 12:55 pm—just minutes after the breach—calling in MPD (Asst. Chief Jeffrey Carroll), Virginia State Police, USSS, USPP, MWAA, FBI, and agencies from as far as New Jersey. I even reached the DC National Guard Commander. All while the House Sergeant at Arms repeatedly denied my requests for resources—the same official who rejected my advance request on January 3. Phone records, sworn testimony, and congressional reports confirm it. The irony? They're thanking the exact response I coordinated—while I was removed within hours of securing the Capitol. I will always be grateful to those agencies and officers who answered the call. The official record tells the full story. @SpeakerJohnson @RepBarryLoudermilk @RepBryanSteil @RepJoeMorelle @RepNormaTorres @SenThomTillis

@WalkWithBlueHQ Thank you, and I appreciate the sport.

@ChiefSund You should have your job back. 💙 ~M

@dnddwilson Thank you, David. Always enjoyed working with you.

@ChiefSund My second favorite chief, after Gainer. You should still be there. CD2

@Pandyrama2024 Agreed.

@ChiefSund The fact that there has been zero consequences for Pelosi on down is utterly pathetic.

@DoLesbiansTip @NormaJTorres Thank you!

@Redblooded70 If it hasn't happened in five years...probably not.

@ChiefSund Hopefully someday the real truth will be told.

@Jantbo @DHSgov @CISAgov @GOP @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @SenateDems need to fund all of @DHSgov. What else needs to happen?

@ChiefSund @DHSgov @CISAgov Wasn’t there a clean resolution proposed yesterday to fund TSA and the @GOP voted it down?

POLITICS NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF SECURITY For nearly a month, Congress has failed to fully fund @DHSgov, putting critical programs at @CISAgov—intelligence sharing, cyber defense, infrastructure protection—at risk. In the past 12 days, the U.S. has faced multiple attacks: •Austin, TX – March 1 – terrorist related mass shooting •New York City – March 7 – terrorist bombing attempt •Old Dominion University – March 12 – ISIS inspired campus targeted attack •Temple Israel, MI – March 12 – synagogue terrorist attack •Stryker Corporation – March 12 – Iranian-linked cyberattack on medical system used by 1st Responders and Hospitals. Our first responders show up every day. Congress must do the same. Fund homeland security now. @SenGaryPeters @SenJoshHawley @RepBennieThompson @SenSchumer @RepJohnKatko @FBI @MarkWarner @SenateGOP @SenateDems #HomelandSecurity #DHS #NationalSecurity #FirstResponders #CyberSecurity

@CitizensBTB @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @SenateDems needs to get off their rear ends and fund @DHSgov. What else needs to happen?

RIP Lt. Col. Brandon Shah 💔

@jamsr4182 @Real_RobN @MurphyKatmu Actually, lots to say!

@Real_RobN @MurphyKatmu @ChiefSund If he had anything explosive to say, he would have written a book about it now!

This is: The Chief of Capitol Police, Steven Sund, who OVERSAW the entirety of January 6th. @ChiefSund: “Ask yourself why the Jan. 6 Committee never requested that I come in to publicly testify. Think about that—I am the Chief of Capitol Police.”

February 5, 1997 @ 3:00 a.m, As a lieutenant with the DC Police, I found myself sprinting from the Fourth District station in Washington, D.C., alongside Lt. Mario Patrizio, responding to the call every cop dreads: “Officer down.” One block away, Master Patrol Officer Brian T. Gibson, just 27 years old, sat in full uniform at a traffic light on Georgia Ave. He was ambushed and murdered without warning by a man determined to kill the first police officer he saw. Several of us tried to save Brian, quickly placing him in a police car to rush him to MedStar. However, he would soon pass away, surrounded by his mother and father. Less than a decade later, one of the officers who fought to save him that night—Sgt. Gerald Burke Jr.—would also die in the line of duty. Brian’s funeral remains the hardest I’ve ever attended. Every overpass. Every intersection. Silent crowds honoring a fallen officer. And yet, from unimaginable loss came extraordinary grace. Brian’s mother, Shirley Gibson, opened her home every Thanksgiving to feed police officers and first responders—turning grief into service, and loss into legacy. A tradition that lasted decades. Today, remember MPO Brian Gibson. And if you can, thank a first responder. Stay safe. 🇺🇸👮‍♂️🙏

@elleonCEOTK Congratulations @elleonCEOTK! Proud of you my friend! Keep up the great work. 🫡🇺🇸

ALCON…God is wonderful. He put me in position to retire honorably from the federal government after I left the United States Capitol Police so I could speak the truth about events I witnessed during and after J6. Now that I’m no longer a federal employee I do NOT have to adhere to the Hatch Act of 1939. Stay tuned patriots and God bless. Tarik K Johnson Former Lieutenant US Capitol Police

@JudgeJeanine Thank you @judgejeanine for standing with the men & women of law enforcement and for honoring Officer Bennett by attending his services. Your support of my @DCPoliceDept family means more than words can express. Keep fighting the good fight.

Rest in peace, Officer Terry Bennett. Thank you for your service. We honor you today and always.

@HanneBlaze64 Every suspicious device must be treated as real. The Jan. 6 pipe bombs demanded significant law enforcement resources—resources that were urgently needed elsewhere that day.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Defense explosives expert in Brian Cole Jr. case says Jan. 6 devices were incapable of exploding and thus were not bombs at all. 🧵1 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Thank you Silvio. Good question. I have asked Congressional Leadership to review my case…@RepLoudermilk and @RepTroyNehls are supportive, but @LeaderJohnThune & @SpeakerJohnson -Not Interested.

@SMCosta6 @RepLoudermilk Thank you Silvio. Good question. I have asked Congressional Leadership to review my case…@RepLoudermilk and @RepTroyNehls are supportive, but @LeaderJohnThune & @SpeakerJohnson -Not Interested.

@ChiefSund @RepLoudermilk Chief, Where is the lawsuit to get your benefits back? The ones that stripped of your benefits were the same that denied the National Guard How is this possible to stand?

@RepLoudermilk is correct. I made multiple requests for National Guard assistance in advance and on Jan. 6. Those requests were repeatedly denied—primarily by the House Sergeant at Arms—over concerns about “optics” and the inability to obtain Speaker Pelosi’s approval. Below are the requests and denials.
