The Spin

The targeted ambush of two National Guardsmen near the White House proves exactly why Trump's deployment of troops to secure DC was necessary. Crime has dropped historically since the Guard arrived, and this cowardly attack on America's heroes only strengthens the resolve to keep our capital safe. Adding 500 more troops is the right response to those who would commit violence against our defenders.

Trump's military occupation of DC was already ruled likely unlawful by federal courts, and now his illegal deployment has put soldiers in harm's way for political theater. The Guard was sent to address a crime emergency that didn't exist, as Justice Department data showed crime was already falling. This shooting exposes the dangerous consequences of using troops for unconstitutional law enforcement missions.
