Jeanine Pirro Slams Left for Fueling Division' Over National Guard Deployment: It Outrages Me!'

"United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro let loose on the left for fueling the flame of division by criticizing President Donald Trump's National Guard deployment in a Fox News tirade Friday, after hosts asked her about initial Democratic pushback to the policy. The appearance followed in the wake of Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard members and the arrest of an Afghan national."

"Compagno asked: Attorney General, what is your message to elected officials like Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) that said that our National Guard was terrorizing American cities, that predicted that it would be the National Guard that would shoot innocent Americans and many other horrific comments such as that? You know, it outrages me and there's part of me that thinks that the left is disappointed that the National Guard didn't shoot someone, Pirro began."

"But the truth is left-wing progressive nonsense is nothing more than fueling the flame of division in this country. People should be grateful that the president of the United States has taken crime so seriously in this country that he is bringing in our law enforcement partners so that we can protect the innocent citizens. Citing statistics that homicides and robberies were down, 60% and 50% respectively, in the District of Columbia, Pirro unloaded on the left: The left wants to complain about it?"

Jeanine Pirro appeared on Fox & Friends following the shooting of two National Guard members, one of whom later died, and the arrest of an Afghan national. Pirro said prosecutors upgraded charges against the suspected shooter to first-degree murder. She criticized Democratic figures who had opposed National Guard deployments and accused left-wing progressives of fueling division. Pirro urged gratitude for the president's decision to deploy law enforcement partners to protect citizens and cited declines in homicides and robberies in the District of Columbia as evidence supporting the deployments.
