Hawaii governor took 15 minutes to announce missile alert was false

The Hawaii National Guard's top commander said Friday he told Gov. David Ige that a missile alert was a false alarm two minutes after it went out statewide. But the governor didn't tell the public until 15 minutes later.

Maj. Gen. Arthur "Joe" Logan told state lawmakers that he called the governor at 8:09 a.m. Saturday after confirming there was no threat. Rep. Kaniela Ing asked why the governor didn't immediately address the public, but Ige had left the hearing.

Gov. Ige's spokeswoman Cindy McMillan said the governor had to track her down to prepare a message. She said the communications team handles his social media.

Ige's office relayed an emergency management agency tweet that it was a false alarm at 8:24 a.m. Six minutes later, a notice went up on his Facebook page.

“Gov. Ige’s spokeswoman Cindy McMillan said the governor had to track her down to prepare a message.”

That made me laugh aloud.

He had to track someone down to say “false alert”.

Scuttlebutt is that Democrat-Communist leaders in Hawaii were waiting for POTUS to get a trigger finger. It seems that the Deep State Intel agencies may have been provoking North Korea from the very beginning of POTUS term to put us all in danger of nuclear war! Dems wanted to get an impeachable offense on POTUS. This is why the Dems don’t want the FISA MEMO released!

See my statement above, we are on to something. Unfortunately Hawaiians are not.

I find it interesting that Bill and Hillary happened to be there in Hawaii when all this went down.

There’s a thread on here where the guy in the video claims he saw a bright flash in the sky and load boom.

Missle intercept and splash....just what Q wrote...not fake news non-nuke alert

I would not be surprised to hear that the ‘Resistance’ movement (Obama) is at the root of this whole thing.

I heard him at a press conference and wondered the same thing. Real dim-bulb.

I am surprised that no one of the sh**hole news media ask DJT: WHY DID YOU NOT LAUNCH IN RETALIATION?

The governor was not able to make a decision on his own. He had to talk to his spokesperson to get the message “just right”.

That sounds interesting, but I don’t see how the FISA memo can be connected to the false alarm. Can you elaborate?

It’s been reported that there was a missle in the air but no an NK missle but a ship fired missle. The alert came from navy command. The missle was intercepted and shot down. There is a eyewitness claiming to have seen the explosion. Attempt by deep state to start war with NK. TRUMP SAID NO
