That’s on her, then. Because it’s not a huge leap to connect the various far right/white supremacist groups that have been supportive of Trump since day one and what ended up happening, especially since they’ve been talking about this sort of thing on social media platforms for weeks now.
She has no control over the National Guard, as that’s fed territory. They should have been there prior to the rally, given the very real threat these groups already posed prior to this week. There is evidence to suggest that Trump or Trump loyalists in the government told them to not send the Guard.
True, but that’s not what happened. And really, this is not a big shock, given that the rhetoric from Trump, etc, has been that the election has been stolen and all that. They think that the Democrats are the fascists. So this is not an unexpected outcome at all.
That’s not what that is, though. Having the Guard on stand by when you KNOW for a fact that violent extremists are going to be among a large crowd of people who fully believe that “their” country is being “stolen” from them is the right move.
They KNEW who some of these people were and what their end goals are, and it’s a white ethnostate. We need to take that seriously.
[ETA] We know their goals and that they will spill blood to get it.
These people are a threat to our country.
