Wes Moore takes it to Trump
I like what I’m seeing:
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has given his fellow Democrats a master class in how to respond to President Donald Trump and his overreaching threat to send the National Guard to additional American cities. In an extraordinary clap-back video addressed to Trump — who’s hinted at sending the National Guard to Baltimore and other cities — Moore underscores that he’s the “commander in chief” of Maryland’s guard and would not deploy it “for something that is not mission critical or mission aligned. Period!!”
Unlike the president of the United States, I’ve actually worn the uniform of this country.
Moore went further, noting that he in particular understands the mission and limits of the National Guard. “Unlike the president of the United States, I’ve actually worn the uniform of this country,” said Moore, who served his country as a captain in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. “Unlike the president of the United States, I actually deployed overseas and fought on behalf of the United States of America. And so I do not need and will not accept any type of lecture from someone who the only uniform they have worn is a Brooks Brother suit,” he said.
