Christine Baronas: Questioning
Would a Trump supporter explain to me why, if the National Guard can be called out to protect ICE enforcement, why wasn’t it called out when the U.S. Capital was being attacked? He says he has the power today, 2025. He also had it in 2020 but didn’t use it when our nation’s Congress was overrun. It was a demonstration that got so out of hand that people did die. That leads to the question of what’s more important: ensuring the peaceful passage of a democracy’s power or making sure police can grab up criminals?
