She can’t pull it through

The speaker was saying that while Tonya may have known of the planned attack, she didn’t think she could “pull it through”. This is a mashup of “pull it off” and “go through with it”, both meaning to be able to accomplish something. A big thanks to John Kooser who heard this one and passed it on.
