He forgot that he and his fellow GOP leadership voted against what he is now proposing just a few short months ago:

This reminds me of Jim Jordan's demand yesterday with Kevin McCarthy that Nancy Pelosi be investigated for failing to oversee and provide security of capitol hill on January 6th. Except for one thing, the speaker of the house, Ms Pelosi in this instance, doesn't oversee or otherwise have anything to do with capitol hill security:

Then, with righteous indignation, Jim and Kevin sit back and wonder why the former was kicked off the committee...
She doesn't oversee or otherwise have anything to do with capitol hill security?
Actually Yes Nancy Pelosi IS in Charge. She isn't the ONLY person, but YES it is her responsibility and she blew it before the Capitol Attack.
You wants facts. CNN once again misled you.
The Speaker is responsible for all operational decisions made within the House.
Nancy Pelosi was told there might be big trouble coming to the Capitol.
Chief of Police Sund on Jan. 4 requested that Nancy Pelosi provide National Guard Security to the Capitol.
Being in charge of ALL operational decisions in the US House of Reps, Nancy Pelosi DENIED his request for Nat. Gd presence.
His request required the approval of the Speaker of the House and SHE DENIED his request.
She'll try to keep that question from coming up when they do their song and dance and try to cast blame everywhere aside from themselves, and you'll absorb the lies hook, line, and sinker.
The question about Pelosi's responsibility will NEVER be asked by the 2 RINOs (Pelosi Democrats) on the Commission, so she'll never take her obvious responsiblity.
Here are the Facts:
1. Police Chief Sund requested that National Guard be placed at the Capitol on the 4th of Jan.
2. Nancy Pelosi DENIED the request of the Police Chief.
Nancy Pelosi lied according to Chief Sund, whose resignation she requested.
She said he never contacted her.
Chief Sund refuted that in a letter directly sent to Pelosi who is a liar (like most leftist Democrats) that he did contact her 2 times on the 6th.
Here are the specific times: At 5:36 PM and at 6:25PM.
That's pretty precise.
FACT (from Letter to Pelosi): Chief Sund requested the National Guard be activated ahead of the January 6th Joint Session of Congress, the response from the SAA,
acting on your behalf, was that the “optics” of having the National Guard on-site were not good and the intelligence didn’t support the move. The request was not approved.
Chief Sund confirmed all those facts above.
End of story.
