Maybe that's how fox news spins it, but the actual memo's to the from the department of defense stated that unless the Sec of Def (acting) gave specific orders, that National Guard were not to detain any of the protestors, or to be equipped to impede the protests.
Specifically, not to be issued weapons or riot gear.
Sure, they shouldn’t imped the protest. That is correct. Like you said, the protestors were no longer protestors when they tried to invade the Capitol. If the National Guard had been present, they would have been expected to stop it.
