Hold on, you're saying the official press secretary for the US president pulled it out of her ass and informed the public that trump was responsible for the call out but she only 'guessed' the president was responsible for 'directing' the NG to activate within DC. and didn't bother to find out, verify or even consult someone in the know about it ?? , Wahahahaaa .... The SOD didnt say pense authorised the NG, only that he 'discussed it with him' (seeing as trump was in texas, and pense is the ranking congress member as well as pelosi as speaker of the house- it's only logical they were informed or involved in a discussion) however it is dishonest to conflate what the SOD actually states in the post to assume 'discuss' somehow means 'authorised' bc no where in that does it actually say pense called out the NG activation.
