Pentagon official confirms plan as House minority leader Jeffries says president is ‘playing’ with Americans’ lives
Planning is underway to send national guard troops to Chicago, an official at the Pentagon confirmed to ABC News on Sunday.
“We won’t speculate on further operations. The Department is a planning organization and is continuously working with other agency partners on plans to protect federal assets and personnel,” a Department of Defense official said, according to ABC.
Earlier on Sunday, Hakeem Jeffries, House minority leader and New York Democratic congressman, said Donald Trump has “manufactured a crisis” to justify sending federalized national guard troops into Chicago next, over the heads of local leaders.
Of course, because Trump and the GoP are the entire crisis in this country right now. They are so openly evil and corrupt now that they have to use desperate theatrics to keep their minority base of wicked, debased, self-harming, homicidal imbeciles in line.
