DC's guard chief testified today that "seconds mattered." Yet he waited 3 hours & 19 minutes to deploy troops as rioters attacked the Capitol. @selectedwisdom joins @mehdirhasan to discuss day 2 of Senate hearings at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/vFQ68WwtIq8

Acting DOD SECofDEF Chris Miller should be charged with sedition for refusing to send NG AFTER SEVERAL requests for NG were made‼️ BTW, same for The Former Guy - you know, the guy who claimed to be very smart - could have ordered the NG to the Capitol too.

Well, “he” didn’t voluntarily wait 3+ hours to deploy troops - “he” was made to wait 3+ hours to be *allowed* to deploy troops. Big difference there.

Please rephrase. It appears that he, and the Capitol Police, and Congress, and the VP, had to wait while DoD and White House appointees debated whether to delay further or intervene in the insurrection.
