    1. @Aztec Blood the Democrat party really took a giant $hit on the law enforcement. It’s no the GOP trying to defund cops and military. These people remember that. Probably why the cops held the doors open at the capital for the American Patriots.

    2. @Sereana Duwai you consider where congress meets to line their pockets and pass along inside information while ignoring their electorate hollow?

    3. How dare you suggest someone from CNN would not tell you the complete and unbiased News paid for by the CCP ! You sound like a Traitor !
      Thankgod we have 10k NG ( more then Iraq and Afghanistan combined) surrounding our Capital right now. I mean protecting our Capital.

    4. @Aztec Blood after the events at the capital with police holding the doors open the secret service might look the other way on the 20th and let American Patriots crash the party.

    1. yeah, this is a big fucking deal man…people are going to spend the rest of their life in prison for this. Entire careers are over forever…you can’t be a security official and fail at securing something this horribly and ever expect another job…

    2. @THE ANGRY QUAD well look at it this way He is angry with the vice president’s because he could not change the outcome, who call for the national guard from inside the house the vice president I mean come on..

    3. @LiS Wright Why are you bitching about white people? The majority of America is white. Blacks only make up 12%. Get used to it and quit blaming whites because you are black.

  1. He basically said that the National Guard was only available to handle “Traffic” locations and everything else was “Not that I’m aware of”

    1. @bobagorof Subject: Fwd: Prague newspaper quote

      Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in a Prague newspaper.

      “The danger to America is not Joseph Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.”

    2. @bobagorof Your hypocracy is Outstanding I’m not sure if I can achieve such a high level of Cognitive Dissonance. Your Like a Jedi Master of Bullshit. Very Impressive.

    3. @BradLee Jones yere, sure, we hear you, I suppose your still waiting for tramp to lock up Hillary, Obama and Comey too right? 😴 Let’s not forget the wall, Mexico will pay for it.. Oh no we’ve decided to fundraise, oops we changed our minds, now we’re going to buy a yacht and fund our extravagant lifestyle.. Man your so easily led you’ve joined a cult and haven’t even realised yet 🙄🍿

    4. Are they even qualified for handling traffic? I know it sounds silly but you do need some specific training for it…

  2. Whenever someone at this high a level says: “I’m not aware of any such orders given”………………..”Not that I’m aware of” they’re almost always lying.

    2. @Steve Gooden oh so you’re antifa? Since that’s what you guys are blaming Capitol riots on. Good job antifa good job 👏

  3. 1st Response: “I don’t know the answer to that.” He is the exact one who should know the answer to that.

    2nd Response: “I don’t know the answer to that.” WTF?

    1. @Extraneus That was the DC Metro Police (the District police)–the US Capitol Police (the Feds) apparently never requested National Guard support, until after the rioters breached the Capitol building.

    1. @James Clint so if white people are getting beaten to death in high numbers by police why aren’t they protesting? Why aren’t they storming buildings like the capital to make people aware of their community’s suffering instead of fighting for a corporate leader? No f**k you. If your people isn’t getting the attention you want then do something about it like BLM like MAGA people did. You sound dumb obviously your people don’t think these allege deaths by cops is a problem.

    2. @Lunar Dream That’s because they were pre-coordinated. There was only a “tiny” pre-coordinated request for National Guard support for this date (6 January), and it was made by the DC Metro police. It was for the National Guard to manage the Metro traffic points. The US Capitol Police (who protect Federal areas) didn’t ask for any support–they only had their “regular” component of Capitol Police on duty. Remember…the DC Metro Police CANNOT just go onto Federal property–they must be requested (because the DC Metro police is a municipal force, basically).

    3. @James Clint What?! If you think a White male was beaten to death on January 6th, by police, at the Capitol building, you need to get back on your meds.

  4. Call went as follows:
    “There’s a riot coming. Send in the National Guard!”
    “Are they black?”
    “No, they’re white supremacists.”
    “Oh okay. We’ll be there eventually.”

    1. @Warren Goss nobody said it wasn’t dumb dumb but the point is the major double standards of how this nation treats one group of people over the other.

    1. Definitely. If he didn’t then who dose? Get rid of him and put someone in that is on America’s side not a traitors.

    1. Apparently they were as ready as they wanted to be. Disgusting. Watching the videos of those officers being pummeled.

  5. It amazes me that there are so many people serving in our government who are willing to put their careers and reputations on the line for a delusional psychopath who wants to overthrow our democracy.

  6. “He didn’t like the idea of National Guard holding the line with the Capital in the background”, they had no such concerns during the BLM protests.

    1. So they preferred to have the Capitol conquered? By that hour it was obvious it was happening if they don’t intervene… That sounds like treason.

    2. If it had been BLM, they would have shot first and asked questions later—by Presidential order without doubt.

    1. They’re just asking leading questions that try to make it seem like they didn’t cause the violence. They actually had someone in there reporting and causing violence. They, cnn are 100% busted. They interviewed the guy that they had there. It’s fake media too the max.

    2. I get the idea that he knows the answers but is refusing to give the straight answers the American people and the members of Congress deserve.

    1. Exactly but it wasn’t a protest, it was a domestic terrorist attack. Like imagine how terrifying it is knowing how easy it is for a terrorist to attack our nation’s Capital now.

    1. @Dan H You know, the more I think about it… maybe he is trying to tell us something? From the comments it’s become clear that NO ONE believes he is being honest.
      Is he doing a hack job to let us know there’s a hack job going on?
      Ugh, I’m tired of second-guessing these people.

    2. The General is telling the truth. If a regular National Guard force is going to be deployed (without prior notice, or being on “Alert” status), the time required is measured in several hours–not a couple of hours. If a National Guard force is in “Alert” status, then sure–they can be deployed/redeployed or re-tasked in minutes (if they are properly equipped (which includes communications), and have been briefed on their duties).

  7. “coordinates with the other events that were taking place..” What coordination? Y’all lagged on purpose. Period.

    1. @Samantha Thompson Yeah, it was a popular “ disarming people “ tactic around 1955 , and enough people have caught on to it that it’s begun having an opposite effect.
