Rather than focus on Trump’s plot, the Capitol attackers, or the work of the congressional committee, Tiffany put forward debunked conspiracy theories about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, and the city’s security plans ahead of Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally, which he scheduled for the same time Congress was meeting to certify the election results. 

"They’re not revealing that President Trump a couple of days before January 6, 2021 offered up to 20,000 National Guard troops to the mayor of Washington DC,” Tiffany claimed. “Now, the president cannot force a mayor to take those National Guard troops, but the mayor could have. She refused it. Why are we not talking about that?” 

Because Mayor Bowser did not refuse the offer. There was no such offer from Trump.  [emphasis added]
