DC mayor calls in National Guard for Trump supporters but refused to during BLM/Antifa riots
The Post Millennial ^ | James Anthony

Mayor Muriel Bowser has just activated 340 National Guard troops ahead of a gathering of Trump supporters in DC on Wednesday, anticipating potential unrest on the streets of DC.

"We will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city," said Bowser in a prepared statement.

Unfortunately, she didn't see fit to do so when DC was in full riots back in early June of this year, and people were getting hurt.

Maybe she could send a few of these guys to Josh Hawley’s house so Antifa stops pounding on his door?

Wasn’t there a Bowser character in the Mario Bros. video game?

She knows damn well that the Rat Party's military wing (Antifa) will be thumping many heads tomorrow so she'll have the Guard joining in.CNN's headline on Thursday will be “rioting by far right Trump loving skinheads”.

From elsewhere:

Mayor Bowser requested the activation on Dec. 31 and the request was approved Monday by the acting defense secretary, said a senior defense official. Unlike other states' National Guards -- whose activation is controlled by state governors -- the responsibility for the D.C. National Guard falls to the Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, who then must have the decision approved by the defense secretary.

When civil war II begins, it will be entirely instigated by the left. Do any see the irony in that? They group that is so confused that they are not sure whether they are amen or awomen? Yea, those girly men think they are going to mix it up with former-marines and other veterans of the military.

Heck, even the women of the right are nothing to mess with.

Actually, it should be kind of fun to watch.

DC simply doesn't have enough police or National Guard to stop one million fanatical Trump supporters.
They either get out of the way, or get trampled under.

The traitorous mayor will have the National Guard protect Antifa/BLM terrorists when they attack MAGA supporters and arrest MAGA supporters who try to exercise their civil rights.

Thank you for the additional info...

Why is there no government press release on this ??

Acting Secretary of Defense

USPDJT would be all over this as to promote the message of safety for the event.... Crickets ????

Why does this not smell right, but smells left.

there are multiple fronts - especially the FakeNewsMSM - trying to promote violence at this important protest.

don’t let them get their wish.

celebrate Trump’s first term, and pray for his second term.

It is this kind of thinking that will allow America to die with just a whimper. The time is now to force the issue, stop the steal, and remove from office those who are enemies of America.

All Trump supporters who come to DC for this march should be very well prepared and possibly armed, plus there should of course be good security, cause the deranged DC mayor and his BLM/ANTIFA brown shirts are definitely going to show up and instigate violence.
Any and all such attempts must be forcibly put down by the Trump supporters, cause the DC police and the DC national guard will not protect anybody.

Dc police have given an escort to several ANTIFA buses also. To those attending the Stop The Steal rally, be extremely cautious. The cops are not your friends there. As a former cop ,it makes me angry and sad to have to say that.
