This is a bad take, the PMO didn’t ‘allow’ it to happen because they had no say, no authority, they weren’t even informed because they don’t need to be informed. The speaker has independent authority over guests in the gallery and over who is recognized. It prevents the gallery from becoming a partisan tool, at least it has for our whole history. If you want to argue for change that’s one thing, but don’t assign blame where it doesn’t belong.
