White House says Gov. Tony Evers turned down federal help to quell Kenosha disturbances

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Tuesday night that Gov. Tony Evers turned down an offer of federal help from President Donald Trump to help quell the outbreak of violence in Kenosha.

"We have a National Guard standing by that if the general for the National Guard needs additional help, we're there to do it," Meadows said. "But today, that request was denied by the governor."

The Democratic governor deployed the National Guard to Kenosha on Monday and doubled the size of the deployment to 250 on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Evers did speak with both Meadows and Trump but Meadows was offering help from the Department of Homeland Security, not the National Guard, according to the Evers administration. Evers declined because more Guard members were already been sent there.

Party before country. That’s who the Democrats are and have been for decades. I believe many Americans are finally discovering that fact for themselves!

The Democratic governor deployed the National Guard to Kenosha on Monday

*************

Doesn’t do any good to deploy people to do nothing.

If roles were reversed, the Democrats would have found a way to quell the rioting long ago. You can’t tell me out of all the hundreds of thousands of laws in this country, that Trump/Barr can’t find one they need to put an end to this!

I wonder if those in Kenosha are still happy with their 2018 choice for Governor.

“Doesn’t do any good to deploy people to do nothing.”

Exactly. National Guard and law enforcement aren’t any good if stand-down orders and passive rules of engagement are in effect.

Its not a display of force. Its a display of farce.

This weakness only emboldens the rioters.

Police protection at the governor's mansion should be suspended until he either resigns or is, uh, removed from office by Antifa/BLM.

The Donald is playing this game well.

Offer them help, if they refuse, then broadcast that offer worldwide.

Evers is a puppet of COS Maggie Gau, who was pretty much put there by Holder to direct Evers-

Also The Evers Administration de facto press secretary, Patrick Marley of the MSJ [(cut and paste aggregator for A(merican) P(ravda)] wrote this article. It must have been painful and stressful for him to put on paper something resembling factual reporting.

So... Basically the Governor is acting as official cover for the riots.

Isn’t that aiding and abetting? If not outright Sedition?

Cops asked for 750

Evers approved 250

Fedgov offered another 500

Evers refused

Two people shot dead last night

Luckily, it was Evers’ fellow travelers that got shot dead

Charge the Governors, Mayors and do nothing AGs and DAs with sedition maybe? You would think that there's something in place for when a State goes rogue but then, CA has been rogue for decades
