He didn't call the governor - he is forgetful and mixed up and can't remember. And he does need his permission. |
The call logs were posted online and shows he did call and spoke to Newsom for 16 minutes. |
That was a different day. |
Wrong. There was a time difference. 1 am June 7 in dc is June 6 in California aka when the riots began. Either way it doesn’t matter. Newsom lied and said there was no call at all. Why are you listening to a liar? |
Governors control the NG and the constitution specifically gives congress the authority to set the conditions for when the NG can be called into federal service. |
Yes, that was a different phone call. President Trump never called Governor Newsom and asked him or told him about the National Guard. |
Newsom, Trump and lies go hand and hand. Talk about a gruesome twosome.... Trump and Newsom. |
But not about the national guard or the protests. And that was on friday night. On Tuesday, trump falsely claimed it was "yesterday" - it wasn't. His brain is mush. |
Calling the NG into federal service is an Art II authority. It happens when POTUS says it happens. Not justiciable. |
When did Nixon call out the National Guard without a governor’s request? |
You can’t be serious. Your governor was caught in a lie saying there was no call. Trump produces the log, and you’re still suggesting it just wasn’t the right day?! Doesn’t matter anyway, Trump doesn’t need permission, just that “orders” are related to him. |
1965, Selma. Sorry, Johnson. Same difference. Alabama didn’t need to consent. Judges didn’t need to sign off on it. Pure article 2. |
How would you know what was discussed in 16 minutes in a private call? |
Wrong. Article I, Section 9: “The Congress shall have Power…To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;” |
How would you know what they discussed? Newsom lied and said there was no call. |
