"I think we need to stick away from this Democrat/Republican. We've got two American, two National Guardsmen who have been shot in the District of Columbia. One of my deepest concerns right now is that the president has decided to send 500 additional National Guard members to the District of Columbia. Now, I'm asking, why in the hell are you doing that, President?"
"One of my deepest concerns right now is that the president has decided to send 500 additional National Guard members to the District of Columbia. Now, I'm asking, why in the hell are you doing that, President? I hope you rethink that because the sad part about this right now is that the National Guard are out there on the streets and they are deeply concerned."
Two West Virginia National Guard members were shot in Washington, D.C., and remain in critical condition. The suspect has been identified as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the United States legally during the Biden administration and overstayed his visa. President Trump ordered 500 additional National Guard members to the capital after the shooting, and defense officials said the incident occurred steps from the White House. The deployment has raised concerns because National Guard personnel do not receive law-enforcement training, and the added military presence risks increasing tensions and potential confrontation.
