Dems Slam Trump For Not Sending Nat’l Guard On J6, Slam Him Now For LA

Democrats are slamming President Donald Trump for sending the National Guard to help quell violent riots in Los Angeles after previously slamming him for allegedly not sending the National Guard to assist during the Capitol riot — the latter claim complicated by the fact that Trump’s offer to have National Guard forces present ahead of January 6 was rejected by leaders on Capitol Hill and thwarted by some in his own Pentagon.

Protests opposing illegal immigration crackdowns by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have erupted in numerous cities nationwide — including protests which spiraled into violent riots in Los Angeles, spurring Trump to order the deployment of the U.S. military to help restore order.

Trump has activated elements of the California National Guard while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton are being deployed “to restore order” as well.

“If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS’ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,” Trump said on his Truth Social account on Tuesday.

Double standard built on a falsehood
Democrats like Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have used the opportunity to allege a double standard — the National Guard is helping restore order amidst destructive riots in Los Angeles now but didn’t arrive at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 until hours after that riot began — but the logic of her argument was quickly refuted by ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and is contradicted by a number of facts, some embarrassingly captured by her own daughter.
