Rachel Maddow said Donald Trump “uses” the use of the US Army against American citizens.
On Tuesday, August 12, night night night, night, the TV host said, “Let’s be generous here. Maybe it’s not really just a general hard thing. Maybe it’s specifically because it’s DC, which is the US federal government.
Rachel Maddow said that the deployment of the National Guard may not be because it is a “hard crime”, “maybe enjoying it”.
“Maybe that’s what you can see with your two eyes. Maybe it’s really enjoying the use of US military power against American civilians on American soil and wants it to be anywhere. Watch what they do, not what they say,” she said.
“This is an authoritarian takeover”
The American television host pointed out that Donald Trump was silent about shooting at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, where the armed shooter began fire inside the federal building. She argued that Trump was using the army to spend protests against him and face US citizens.
Rachel Maddow described the deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC as a “authoritarian takeover” and said: “We are now apparently in the party of authoritarian takeover, where our authoritarian leader will try to turn our own army to face us, people of this country.”
Deployment of the National Guard in Washington
Donald Trump said he was taking over Washington’s police department on Monday, August 11 and activated 800 National Guard members in the hope of a reduction in crime.
The deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC has been forced, although national capital officials stressed that crime was already decreasing.
Trump, lined by the general prosecutor, his Minister of Defense and the FBI director, said he claims to declare the emergency situation of public security and his administration will remove homeless camps.
“We’ll take our capital back,” Trump said, adding that he would also “get rid of slums”.
