uthorities in Kenosha, Wisconsin, requested 750 National Guard members to assist in quelling the unrest in the city, but Gov. Tony Evers (D) rejected the White House’s offer to assist with the request and only provided 250 members, as the night descended into chaos, leaving two dead and one more wounded.
According to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ advisor Ben Williamson, Evers declined the White House’s offer to provide 500 guards needed to fill the gap, and the violence reached an entirely different level, leaving two dead and one wounded as a result of last night’s protests.
“The president was on the phone with the governor today as well,” Meadows said during a Tuesday appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight.
“We have National Guard standing by that, if the general for the National Guard needs additional help, we’re there to do it. But today, that request was denied by the governor,” he said.

Must let the Savages run wild , too many troops might stop the destruction
The Governor will soon learn that an overwhelming force is a strong deterrent.
Liberals are so close to hitting the tripwire of the everyman’s human tolerance.
I believe he asked to be governor.
If he doesn’t want to do the job, then he can quit.
What is it with these Democrats that they beg for political jobs and then stand around with their thumb up their donkey.
The rioters will be armed after last night. This is a mistake, there should be overwhelming force and the rioters should be shutdown before it even gets started. If the dems think open warfare in their streets is going to help them, I think they are DEAD wrong.
Guess the Gov. isn’t very good at math ... 250 is almost 750.
Lol he cheated his way to Gov with the mysterious 50000 votes that appeared at the last minute.
In a just world some of these anarchist supporting politicians would be drug out of office’s into the streets.
The Rats have been gas lighting the rioters and anarchists towards a civil war. Last night they got what they wanted.
I think the guv has blood on his hands.
Sending Fed troops is the right thing to do, mid-November, unless Evers begs.
Images of Fed troops banging these folks is what we want, but their hands will be tied until the election is over. Then clean up the mess in every damn town. Elections have consequences, you know.
Sending in a sufficient number of National Guard troops would interfere with Demonicrat Tony Evers’ efforts to give aid and comfort to unlawful leftwing enemy combatants.
Dem mayors and governors seem are unable unwilling to maintain civil order.
I would not be surprised if the riots dje way down. The blacks looking for a free TV will not.want risk this life, That just leaves antifa who will not have. Ivil.rights. O we,
He owns it...
Is it just me or does that logo look, well, strange?
It is not even vaguely American; it looks alien not even human.
If anything, it is anti-human, it does not represent a human ideology at all but something from the pit.
It’ll be interesting to see if the “Militia” guys, the guys protecting the businesses, are back out tonight.
