- CalChris 2y agoYes, Trump refusing to send in the DC Guard could be considered allowing it to get out of hand.
- chrisco255 2y agoThe mayor of DC is in charge of DC's guard, and Trump did request their presence, but the mayor failed to abide the request.
- CalChris 2y agoThis is a lie.
- acdha 2y agoThis is a blatant lie: Trump resisted sending the national guard and the Mayor of DC had to ask Virginia and Maryland for police assistance. Ultimately Pence pushed the Pentagon to respond, and he’s never been forgiven for it. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard...
- CalChris 2y agoYes, and "The Commanding General of the D.C. Army National Guard is subordinate solely to the President of the United States". https://dc.ng.mil/Join-the-DC-National-Guard/DC-Army-National-Guard-Recruiting/ https://dc.ng.mil/Join-the-DC-National-Guard/DC-Army-Nationa...
- kibwen 2y agoDon't worry, Trump pardoned all his cronies, so it won't be the last.
- chrisco255 2y agoBiden pardoned his whole family, from what do you think they were gullilty of?
