I have zero respect for Pelosi. She is lying trash. But Trump was the C-in-C of the DC National Guard at the time. He didn’t need the Speaker’s or anyone else’s permission to call out the Guard.
Pelosi might have said she doesn’t want the Guard. But it wasn’t her call.
Bottom line, as I see it: the Guard issue is a wash. Both sides could have done better.
(Hindsight, I know.)
completely incorrect
You’re wrong.
Either the DC mayor or Speaker Pelosi could have accepted PDJT’s days-earlier offer of using national guard troops. Both refused.
PDJT could not by himself have foisted troops onto the DC mall on January 6.
