I’m curious what he said to her on that phone call. I assume he made it clear that he has the authority to send in troops, but her change in tone is so extreme..

She was always going to let them in. She'd been saying, for days, that "lawful" and "peaceful" protesters would be protected-- but that illegal, violent ones would not be. Anything that hinges on a subjective judgement has the loophole embedded.

Blackmail, to be sure.

He does not have the authority to send “troops” to supress protesters. He does have the authority to up the number if investigators, but if you are saying that is all he intends to do...well its a good thing no one wanted to vote for you.

I mean she's a liberal so that sort of defines her as a coward
