The Ohio National Guard and State Highway Patrol troopers will have a “significant presence in Columbus” amid fears of protests by supporters of President Donald Trump, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday.
DeWine’s announcement comes after a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, and law enforcement officials are preparing for armed, pro-Trump protests this weekend in Columbus and other state capitals, as well as in Washington during President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20...
The Ohio Statehouse will be closed Sunday through Wednesday, as will state office buildings in downtown Columbus, the governor said. On Thursday morning, fencing was already in place around the Ohio Statehouse...

Of course, they are all basically closed down Monday anyway.
Mike DeWine is one of the many poster children for what’s wrong with the GOP. Absolute scumbag.
If anyone is thinking about going to any capitol, don’t go and tell your family and friends not to as well..
DeWine deserves at least one prop. He tested rape test kits that had been sitting on shelves for years. Serial rapists were jailed.
Antifa doesn’t scare the Government as much a 100 patriots.
Good.
Exactly.
They need more fear.
At least his mask has been ripped of.
The “deplorable” Trump supporters are not the problem. It is the left and their Minions who are the problem

Ok, so it’s rare that someone is 100% bad. His love of the lockdown is too much for me to take.
If it is anything like 2017 they will be needed. https://www.facebook.com/sherry.ferge/videos/10224736021048591

Don’t know who’s worse...RINO dictator DeWine or RINO assclown Kasich.
Nothing.
I know people in many different conservative circles, in my state and around the country - NOBODY has seen any plans for protest ANYWHERE.
Just the FBI blowing smoke - same with all the NG troops in DC - just a show so the 70 million Biden voters can get all worked up about "white supremacists"
A LOT more. Hell, just showing up in white skin makes them p*ss their pants, Lol! We all know what they’re doing, it’s up to us now to fight back legally and make the Dhimmicrats very uncomfortable. DeWine and all others will look particularly stupid when hundreds of NG people are out on the streets with NO ONE AROUND.
Correct. It is a set-up to trap Trump supporters into some ugly and quite possibly violent situations. I also think that part of the reason all the National Guard is going to DC is so that each locality can report on it to their local audiences, hoping to influence those in the local audience to believe that there is a threat from Trump supporters in DC for the inauguration.
If no Trump supporters show up at any of the “events”, it might be (not guaranteed) a little easier to prove that the violence IS from Antifa, BLM, FBI, and/or other bad actors.
JMHO
Who actually mobilized the National Guard to DC??
Maybe nothing will happen but the ingredients do exists for a national catastrophe
The governors sent them but they will be under DT’s command next week 😉
