"D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro swatted down a question about whether the National Guard should have been in Washington, D.C., saying she was not even going to humor it because Americans should kiss the ground and thank God President Donald Trump deployed Guardsmen there. The question came up at a press conference on Thursday morning, a day after two troops were shot by an Afghan national who was in the country illegally."
"I don't even want to talk about whether they should have been there, Pirro fired back. She continued, We oughta kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement to make sure a city, that had the fourth highest homicide rate in the country, that that violence was quelled. I'm not even gonna go there!"
D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro rebuked a reporter who questioned whether the National Guard should have been deployed in Washington, insisting Americans should 'kiss the ground' and thank President Trump for sending Guardsmen. The question arose after two National Guard members were shot, reportedly by an Afghan national in the country illegally; both guardsmen, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe and 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, remain in critical condition. New Yorker writer Jane Mayer criticized the deployment as political theater; White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded harshly. FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism and that communications with Afghanistan are under review.
