Protecting them from who?
PROTECTING THEM FROM WHO???
Actually the psychology behind this is brilliant! Man must have an education in marketing!
He should be fired if he’s suggesting Antifa should be protected while destroying federal property and harming federal workers. He should be charged with sedition
In this context his statement seems to be saying he will use his local military forces to aid the insurgents against law enforcement conducting arrests.
Do tell....
This is the twisted logic of a woke retard.
ICE goes to Portland to remove illegal immigrant criminals.
Antifa criminals attack ICE.
National Guard will protect the criminals per this clown.
“PROTECTING THEM FROM WHO???”
From those of us who might take exception to their behavior?
A black weight lifter at the gym was hired by Obama’s protest movement. He was trained to get in people’s face and provoke them into throwing a punch. Then they were to “beat the shit” out of them. They had training classes including lawyers. The lawyers were on site and on standby to bail them out. He said the money was more than he’d ever made and he couldn’t turn it down.
When you need to sell something unpopular you use psychology to make them think they need and want it.
Marketing psyops 101... What he is doing here is absolutely brilliant marketing. “You need us to protect you from Trump”. lol
President Trump issued an Executive Order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Brigadier Gen Gronewold should be asked if he is aware of this Executive Order and accepts this designation.
That sounds like Civil War to me
“you’re also service members who took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and follow the orders of the President and the Governor,” Gronewold wrote. “That oath doesn’t come with an asterisk that says, ‘Only when I agree with the mission.’”
Nothing controversial being said.
Note that this traitorous DBag calls his troops the home team — with no mention of local coppers.
Once called up, Federalized, they can only protect Fed facilities and troops. They cannot enforce local laws. So, there is nothing “home” about them. Sure, they cannot just fire into crowds — that is not protection until after the crowd fires into them.
If he stays in command of any troops called up, then state rebellion needs to be called, insurrection. Time for martial law. You will know this is imminent if Fed troops show up in the state capitol.
“This is the twisted logic of a woke retard.”
I don’t think you understand what he is actually doing here. They will indeed go and do what Trump needs them to do, but he is using psychology to make the idiots actually WANT them to come do it...
Heck, they have the Portland PD for that.
From themselves. From agents who would rather riot than have peaceful protest. If this General is to be believed, ICE would be free to do its Federal job, while Oregonians may express themselves in protest - and only protest.
It is actually a brilliant understanding of the role of the National Guard. It is also probably why they were NOT allowed in DC by Pelosi during her fake Reichstag Fire.
You’re conflating protesting with insurrection, pretty sure he’s not. ;<)
“That sounds like Civil War to me”
Yup. I am astonished that we haven’t actually seen him being led away by MP’s to face Court Martial. I don’t know of the equal of this blatant, contemptuous refusal to obey an Order of the Commander in Chief
The reason the federal law enforcement needs protection is because the insurgents are unlawfully attacking them and building and constructing obstructions to control them and prevent them carrying out their duties, the problem is not peaceful protests, and no peaceful protesters are in need of protection anywhere in America, except perhaps for some non-left protesters who face some of the same type violence the law enforcement in Oregon is facing.
