VOTEVETS RESPONDS TO TRUMP'S “HORRIFYING MISUSE” OF THE NATIONAL GUARD IN DC

"The National Guard, when federalized, is no different from the active force. As a retired Soldier, I am calling this out for what it is - and what others who have served surely recognize - a horrifying misuse of our military.

"Using the National Guard has become a pattern for Trump. This isn't the first time or city we've seen this tactic used, we but it needs to be the last.. Using the military to create political theater as a means of distraction is nothing more than intimidation. Make no mistake - the deployment of active duty Marines and federalized California National duty Marines and rede Guard in Los Angeles was blatant political intimidation, as well.

"Right now, Republicans are lying about abysmal job numbers and trying to gerrymander Texas because they can't run on their record. The National Guard should not be called upon to pose for photographs and intimidate residents to make Trump look tough on crime.

"Trump himself refused to activate the Guard when our Capitol was under attack; he should be embarrassed he is activating them now - specifically in blue state cities - to be the shiny object during an already failed presidency."

MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, VoteVets Senior Advisor

He’s talking about a third term so you quit thinking about “Signalgate”.
He’s less than an eighth through this term, no need address what comes after at this time.

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.
