Oregon's governor says that if President Donald Trump asks to dispatch members of her state's National Guard to the US southern border, she'll "say no."
In a set of tweets Wednesday, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said she was "deeply troubled" by Trump's plan to send members of the US military to the border and implied that the President is doing so as a political distraction.
"If @realDonaldTrump asks me to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the Mexico border, I'll say no. As Commander of Oregon's Guard, I'm deeply troubled by Trump's plan to militarize our border," the tweet said.
Brown also said that although she has not been contacted by the Trump administration or others regarding Oregon's National Guard troops, she has "no intention of allowing Oregon's guard troops to be used to distract from his troubles in Washington."

Today I learned Oregon is on the border.
Trust me my Marine Corps son said he and his fellow Marines would love the chance to get on that border,and pray that they are ordered there.
Also OR really!!! So she is grandstanding, like she would be asked to send the Guard from there. Idiot
Several posts on this yesterday and several today ...
She doesn’t have a choice. Ask George Wallace.
Just wait until all those fleeing Californians start swamping Oregon’s southern border looking for political asylum.
As Commander In Chief, I’m surprised Trump does not have the athurority
to order any State’s National Guard to the border.
Why do they call it National Guard if only Governors can order
deployment.
It aint up to her.

Just another day of just another Democrat stirring up trouble.

I’d offer up a rewrite...
Title change: Gov. Kate Brown announces preference to see America invaded.
Sub-header: Gov. Kate will obstruct President’s order to protect our border.
Copy: Gov. Kate Brown today announced that she really likes the idea of MS-13, terrorists, freeloaders and a general invasion of our country. While this policy doesn’t solve criminal dangers from unknown persons entering our country or added burdens on the welfare state - Ms. Brown replied that’s she part of the ‘resistance’ and offered up numerous hashtags and donned a pussy hat.
