It says, "Johnson calling for the National Guard..." not "Johnson calling for the governor to call for the National Guard." Johnson knows who Governor Hochul is. He didn't even mention her name, nor did he say the New York Guard. The New York Army National Guard is a division of the Army National Guard, and although they are under control of the state, they can be federalized (as all Army National Guard units can), and will remain aligned with the federal government over the state government if requirements of the two conflict.

The article said Johnson called for the U. S. National Guard. That is why people are criticising Johnson for saying that. Maybe Johnson meant the governor, or maybe he meant President Biden, but that's not how the article put it.
