"President Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day. Nor did he instruct any Federal law enforcement agency to assist."
@kylegriffin1 "DC FEMS statistics help describe the scope of the January 6th riot at the Capitol. Over the course of the day, DC FEMS reported 22 EMS responses, 14 EMS transports, including two cardiac arrests and two critical injury transports. There were an estimated 250 injured law enforcement officers from numerous agencies. One hundred-fourteen USCP officers reported injuries. Five police officers who were at the Capitol on January 6th died in the days following the riot."
@kylegriffin1 maybe FINALLY, more people will start calling Donald Trump what he truly, and utterly is: A TRAITOR.
@kylegriffin1 you are missing a more important point: he wanted 10,000 National Guardsmen. To protect him and his crazies. It was nixed!
