Congressman HUMILIATED by National Guard Colonel After He Tries to Blame Trump for J6 Response Congressman Mike Morrelle (D-NY) Challenged Colonel Earl G. Matthews over President Donald Trump's handling of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The Congressman was so humiliated that fellow members began laughing at his false narrative. REP. MORELLE: The truth is the Commander-in-Chief could have ordered the National Guard [Editor's note: This is false]. And as I said earlier... the president ordered the troops out on January 6th. There's no evidence anywhere that I've heard of other than him saying that there's literally no evidence of logs from the White House. There's no evidence anywhere that the President did that [Editor's note: This is false]. And frankly, look, I don't know much about this. I'm a civilian, probably the president of the United States, as soon as the breach happened, as soon as there was any measure of violence at the Capitol, I would've assembled people in the situation room, and I don't care about if the Secretary of Defense was there, the Secretary of the Army was there, I'm the commander in chief of the United States. And so I guess I'd begin, General Dean, if an order came from the White House, from the President that deployed the National Guard, would that order have been questioned by anyone? BRIG. GEN. DEAN: But I would answer it this way. I would say that that order was delegated. The responsibility of the response from the Commanding General was written in a written document to him that basically gave him parameters on what he could do and what he couldn't do. REP. MORELLE: So I appreciate that. I appreciate that. But I don't believe the delegation of authority exempts the higher authority. If a call came from the president or the White House that the President wants this deployed, if the Secretary of Defense were somewhere, the Secretary of Army were somewhere else, would you have ignored that order? BRIG. GEN. DEAN: No, we wouldn't have. Not at all. REP. MORELLE: Not at all. Look, again, I don't want to draw you into it. I'm just saying those who want to absolve the higher levels of command, likewise, if the Secretary of Army had not acted, but the Secretary of Defense, Secretary Miller had called and his office had called General Walker and said, deploy the National Guard immediately, would anyone have questioned that order? BRIG. GEN. DEAN: No. No, we wouldn't. I'll speak from my perspective. We wouldn't have questioned it, but we would've wanted it coordinated based on the document that was sent by the Secretary of the Army. REP. MORELLE: So not to interrupt you, you would've sought a manner to verify and to make sure that that was legally the appropriate process, but you would've acted on it immediately. No? BRIG. GEN. DEAN: Think the whole thing was there would've been a conversation. Right. Yeah. So there was this talk about they needed a Con Op, right, a Concept of Operations. Yeah, Well's, a discussion in a crisis. That's a discussion. I agree. And so with that, there would've been a discussion about the deployment of the National Guard with any order given by any senior official. REP. MORELLE: Yeah. And I guess this isn't necessarily a question, but what I hear is a lot of confusion between the White House, the Department of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, and his office. I don't know what happened. I guess there's varying accounts, damn confusion. And what I think each of you is here to testify is that the order didn't come down to Congress COL. MATTHEWS: Am I speaking to that, please, sir? REP. MORELLE: Yeah, go ahead. COL. MATTHEWS: So, Chain-of-command runs from the President to Secretary of Defense, his Secretary of the Army to General Walker. Now, the Secretary of Defense authorized the DC National Guard to deploy at three o'clock. The DC guard was able to deploy at three o'clock. Yes, it had the capability rightness to go on the street at three o'clock, but the order didn't come from the Secretary of the Army. So that was the... REP. MORELLE: No, I understand... COL. MATTHEWS: ...bottleneck there. The president would follow the chain of command. So typically the President and I must remind... REP. MORELLE: No, I would say this, excuse me, I'm going to reclaim my time. [Laughs] I apologize, is that if I were the President of the United States and it had ordered it, if that were true, there's no evidence that happened. But let's say it had been ordered and then 20 minutes goes by and nothing's happening, I'll be on the phone again to my secretaries and I'd be on the phone to General Walker and say, 'what's going on? I've ordered you out, move out.' And with all due respect, conversation should have happened. I don't know if it did or did not... COL. MATTHEWS: So, Congressman, I think that if the president would've called the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Army would've said, 'we're moving as fast as we can. We need to be deliberate. We need to know more information.' That's what the Secretary of the Army said in sworn testimony, Congressman... REP. MORELLE: That's not what happened. He didn't say that in his testimony. COL. MATTHEWS: He did say that in his testimony, sir. REP. MORELLE: No, he didn't say, the president of the United States ordered him to do anything... COL. MATTHEWS: No, no. He said if the president would were called, he said' it would not have made a difference.' The President's call 'would not have made a difference.' Secretary McCarthy... REP. MORELLE: I disagree. COL. MATTHEWS: I think you're right, also. REP. MORELLE: Respectfully, sir, let me reclaim my time. In fact, my time is over. *** Donald Trump had pre-authorized 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed to protect the Capitol on January 6. Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and others have testified in official documents that former President Donald Trump did so. But since this fact destroys the Democrat's Big Lie that Trump was complicit in an "insurrection" on January 6, we have Democrats willing to shut up honored veterans who contradict their false narratives. The National Guard was delayed 3 hours and 19 minutes before being allowed to secure the Capitol. The Big Question is: WHY?
@kylenabecker I don’t see any humiliation in this clip. But you have to love whenever the conversation doesn’t go the way the dems want they reclaim their time.
@ahlbeblunt @kylenabecker He stumbled over his own words trying to keep the narrative going, and then —maybe you didn’t hear it—there was audible laughing at his own words coming from the chamber. You’re trying SO hard to believe the J6 story your side pushes, even while it crumbles around u
@ahlbeblunt @kylenabecker Yes, and cut the person off for speaking truth.
@ahlbeblunt @kylenabecker Humiliating the way he tried to blame shift and kept the general from talking.But nevertheless the truth came out. Time to free political prisoners involved in this setup.
