Cotton wrote that the Guard deserves gratitude for deploying on short notice after the violence at the Capitol began.

The passive voice really won't do here.

Saying "the Guard deployed" is like saying "the gun went off"

Guns don't "go off" unless someone pulls the trigger.

The National Guards of several blue states don't "deploy themselves" in the national capital without orders. They can't all respond to orders emanating from Washington, nor can they deploy in the District of Columbia, unless they are Federalized.

Were they Federalized? When, and by whose authority? Where are the orders? Who signed them?

I know why they are there now. What I don't understand is who planned and carried out the occupation of the capital while Trump was still President.

It’d be nice to find out that Trump and the military honored their oaths, and planned and carried out the occupation of ground zero of the Insurrection- Washington DC

Because the alternative is banana republic
