"Acting Secretary of Defence confirms it was VP Mike Pence, not President Trump who authorised deployment of the National Guard." You can read that, no?
He doesn't say that at all, stop lying. Show me where he says pence authorised or was responsible for the NG being called out or activated on pence's order ??.
He says he 'discussed it with pence' while (presumably) Pelosi was also being informed (or discussed it ) as well.
That's not what the SOD actually says though, that sentence is the authors own opinion on the article he's writing, the SOD actually states he 'discussed it with pence.
Stop conflating 'we had a discussion' and assumimg it means 'pence authorised the NG callout' bc thats only what the author typed, especially when trumps actuaul press secretary posted 'at pres trumps direction ... the NG in DC blah blah' ...
