Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former chair of the Democratic National Committee, suggested Friday that President Donald Trump is to blame for the death of a member of the National Guard.
Multiple left-wing commentators argued that the ambush-style shooting of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe Wednesday only happened because of Trump’s orders to station the National Guard in US cities.
On Friday, as the nation was still reeling from the shooting, CNN host Sara Sidner spoke to Schultz about the tragic incident.
The shooting, Schultz said, “begs the question, would an individual have flown across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, DC? And, I mean, the answer is likely no. So, why wasn‘t the president‘s first thought, ‘Wow, you know, maybe I should reconsider deploying military troops in the nation‘s capital or in any city?’
Even DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, after initial hesitance, admitted at a news conference earlier this year that the federal surge has had a noticeable effect on one of America’s most famously dangerous cities, to the point there was an 87% decrease in carjackings.

Trump should blame himself for putting the National Guard in harm’s way, Schultz argued.
“The president looks everywhere except inward to blame his own policies. We need to make sure that we don‘t have our military deployed in our cities, doing — handling law enforcement responsibilities,” she said. “We certainly need to make sure we always have the proper and appropriate and tight, tight vetting processes, and those should be reviewed. But it‘s never the president‘s fault or his policies when it comes to his reaction, and it‘s pretty disgusting.” ***

See what happens when our colleges admit folks with limited abilities and provide them with a joke of an education?
These people are insane. They should blame themselves for coming anywhere near me in the future. It will be your OWN fault. Do NOt come to Texas and do not say you were not told.
[Insert C-word Here]
The National Guardsmen in DC foiled a terrorist attack. That’s why Trump deployed them. Doofus Debbie should be asked why blue cities are crime ridden hell holes.
Good morning. I live in Austin. Someday, I hope to move to Texas.
And we should blame her for the Mayo shortage since she stockpiles it all for her hair.
Ugly and evil is no way to go through life.
What is she? Stupid?
Listen Ho-Bag.
When someone commits premeditated murder, the primary one to blame is the murder.
But, if we really want to find a secondary cause of this murder, we could blame those who facilitated the murderer's coming to this country.
I believe we could blame the Biden administration and the Democrats in congress.
If we want to point fingers, why don't we point them there.
She admitted that DC was unsafe to live in.
Does this moron have any idea what military personnel do? Is this the type of person that should have the capacity to vote to declare wars?

PoodleBrain is an idiot.
This is nothing more that the latest narrative to deflect the real blame on those running these big cities who are promoting the laxness in policing, in order to create chaos. As they themselves admit, chaos & crisis create opportunities that do not exist in a well functioning society. The opportunities are not ones that benefit the citizens, but rather the leaders to only increae & bloat governemnets, at all levels, to make them less manageable thay allow for graft & corruption to become embeded within that authoritative structure.
She is absolutely Rancid. She can’t understand normal thinking.
“That chick totally deserved it! Did you see the short skirt she was wearing?”
No, it’s a failure of your DEIms and your constituents. Your most loyal constituents to stop the crime.
That’s what came first and you know it and by the way, you are so ugly
Wasserman Lisp during the Bush years:
“Bush is putting our troops in harms way by deploying them to Iraq.”
Wasserman Lisp during the Trump years;
“Trump is putting our troops in harms way by deploying the to our cities”
So- our cities are now like Iraq, a third world country? I’m so confused, I thought DC was safe and sound and there was no crime?
Don’t fight rape, lay back down and enjoy it.
It’s time we just start ignoring this flake.
If only certain mayors and governors were interested in keeping their citizens safe with tough law enforcement, courts that prosecute and incarcerate, and getting rid of the ridiculous no bail laws then maybe our citizen soldiers wouldn’t have to pick up the slack.
