You mean politicians like the mayor of DC, a Democrat who refused offers of assistance from the military in the days before the riot?

Can't read that due to adblock but this seems to be the same story - https://apnews.com/article/55972c6be7b819f46ec0ec55addd64b7

Which doesn't mention anything about Mayor Bowser refusing offers of assistance - only the Capitol Police. Indeed, it cites her asking for assistance on December 31st in preparation.

The capitol police aren't under the control of the DC mayor, they're part of the legislative branch.
