Hillary Clinton and the left-wing media are melting down over President Trump bold move to deploy the National Guard to DC to stop the out-of-control violence.
As reported earlier:
President Trump on Monday announced that he is invoking Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to place Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department under “direct federal control” and authorizing the Secretary of Defense to deploy National Guard troops in Washington, DC.
Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act allows the President to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department under “special conditions of an emergency nature.”
The President signed two executive actions on Monday, including invoking powers under section 740 and sending statutorily required letters to the DC Mayor and the necessary congressional committees. Section 740 requires the President to notify committee chairmen and the mayor in order to federalize the Metropolitan police for more than forty-eight hours.
He also signed a Presidential memorandum directing the Secretary of Defense to utilize National Guard troops to clean up DC and authorizing state governors to use their National Guard troops at home. “We will bring in the military if it’s needed,” Trump told reporters.
President Trump decided to deploy the National Guard to quell the violence in DC after DOGE worker Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls” was severely beaten by a pack of thugs.
Hillary Clinton lashed out at Trump for deploying the National Guard.
As you listen to an unhinged Trump try to justify deploying the National Guard in DC, here’s reality:
Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low.https://t.co/aa33NmPBbN pic.twitter.com/zicp8uauLf
