State governors do have the authority to deploy the national guard within their own borders. Its pretty well agreed upon both internationally and domestically that its fine to send a military into a sovereign state upon request of the local government.

I dislike governor gavin, but requesting the guard when he did is within his authority as governor.

Anyone calling this hypocrisy doesn't understand the concept of consent.
