The Governor could have and should have used her LA NG to stop this on the first day...she chose not to.
Exactly and state Senator Cleo Fields was just on MSNBC with Tucker Carlson blasting the Red Cross for not going in. Said he was there 5 days driving buses and was never shot at. He said it was not that dangerous and even if it would have been that is no excuse not to help people. He makes me sick!
Glad you brought this up.
Somebody please clarify for me: It is the initial responsibility of the GOVERNOR to call out the National Guard in an emergency like this, is it not?
The president does not have authority to call out the National Guard in an individual state, does he?
Maybe somebody knows where the exact wording of the law is on this.
