The Governor of Virginia is deploying his state’s National Guard to the U.S. Capitol after domestic terrorists and violent insurrectionists breached the seat of the United States federal government, breaking into Congress and onto the Senate floor.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi requested D.C.’s National Guard, but the military force is controlled by the President. Trump’s Dept. of Defense refused.
Many Americans are stunned that the U.S. Capitol was breached and that more force was notm used, given how the Trump administration used federal military forces againstr peaceful protestors across the country.
UPDATE:
CNN reports the Defense Dept. has just agreed to deploy the DC National Guard.
