The divide between President Trump and local leaders in places where he has deployed federal agents is widening. This week, 15 mayors asked Trump to withdraw federal forces from their cities, citing fundamental constitutional protections. Former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, first secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, joins Judy Woodruff to discuss why he disavows Trump's action.

You are arguing this rationally - what Trump did vs what Obama did and who was right. Ridge’s statement has nothing to do with what is right and what is not. His statement was driven by only one thing - a hatred of Trump and an opportunity to express that hatred.
Yes, much like an invasion of a cesspool to clean it up.
And foreign cesspools at that.
Wtf
Insanity and insurrection.
Only an idiot would not protect the federal buildings.
The Bushies seem oblivious to their evil.
I cant recall local support when Clinton and Reno sent ATF to Wacos Branch Davidian Compound. When does federal law enforcement require invitation and local support?
Yeah. Holder led the charge.
I don’t know which group I would most like to see heading up the parade of fools and tools headed for the guillotines; Nancy Pelosi and her band of thieves and liars or the RINO Flotilla of lazy, ignorant, gullible traitors who use the Country as a giant ATM.
He is a MEATHEAD.
DUMBER THAN BUSH.
President Bush was still 100x better than a President Gore.
I didn’t agree with everything Bush did, but I didn’t support anything about Gore.
What ever happened with the impoverished monks that donated to his campaign? Everyone knew the money was dirty, but I don’t think anyone went to jail. It could have been Chinese money.
Tom Ridge from 2015....
Tom Ridge: ‘I Can’t Vote for Donald Trump’

Hes been a DS tool for a long time.
This is disgusting. But it works because most Americans are totally ignorant of how a republic works. And a lot of them are just stupid, also. We’ve been breeding for stupid for 50 years - it’s been pretty successful.
They are protecting federal property, they aren’t roaming the streets under cover of darkness randomly grabbing people. The feds have every legal right to dispatch LE to defend the federal buildings.
Keep your powder dry, the time is rapidly approaching when you will be the only one defending yourself, your property, and most importantly *your family*.
I am beginning to think it’s possible the Dems are actually trying to force the President to declare martial law.
Ex-Governor Ridge, was the deployment of the FBI, ATF, US Marshalls Service, DHS, etc. under the Obama Administration a problem for you?
Ridge was an empty suit from day one.
The blackmail files on the guy must be totally amazing.
Communists are declaring no go zones and they are seceding communities from the city and state and federal government control
This asshat sides with them because he says that we are invading their territory.
Bush was still BETTER than the alternative, or we’d already be in a state of Civil War as the Democrats would fully own the courts and rule by decree, with which our only means of redress would have been violent.
To put it another way...which Democrat would have been better than Bush Jr?
I don't recall seeing you around these parts following 9/11..........Or are you John Kerry who voted for then voted against the invasion........
In fact, it appears you didn't come around until 16 years later.........I'll withhold further comments
“I didnt like Tom Ridge back then either - something didnt seem right about him”
He’s a PATHETIC person. Bush nearly picked him for VP (I think), or possibly Supreme Court. He needs to have his house ‘visited’ before he opens his trap.
One thing to keep in mind, and NEVER FORGET - a person who hasn’t done shit in 15 years (and was a loser prior) would never get on the air if Leftists didn’t own the media.
We don’t, so they pick OUR spokesmen for the country (Ridge, in this case) - whether we like it or not.
This is astonishingly wrong. And it should tell those of you who are still clinging to the idea that the GOP can be a force for good or can reverse or even slow the call of this nation please WAKE UP.
Tom Ridge is a Republicans Republican. He is a prototype. My governor is just like him. 85% or more of the GOP Senators are like him. If you support or elect Republicans this is what you will get.
Things will not improve until the GOP is destroyed.
Ridge was always a d- bag.
