Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested National Guard troops to be present during Wednesday’s “Stop the Steal” rally in support of President Donald Trump. Bowser has also urged residents to avoid downtown as Trump supporters plan to descend on the United States capital to protest the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory.
The presence of the military during a rally is definitely a ramping up of tensions. However, ironically, the mayor made no such call for military help when Black Lives Matter protesters set fires, vandalized national monuments, and hurled rocks and bottles of urine at Secret Service agents earlier this year, as RT pointed out.
In fact, Bowser in June called on Trump to withdraw National Guard soldiers and other federal forces who had been deployed to help quell riots at the time.

Mayor Bowser has called up the National Guard to help police manage the pro-Trump demonstrations Tuesday and Wednesday.

Bowser’s office told media outlets on Monday that she had asked the National Guard to send about 340 unarmed troops to help District of Columbia police and firefighters to manage demonstrations by supporters of President Trump, but noted only 115 would be deployed at once. The mayor advised Washington residents to stay out of the downtown area and refrain from engaging with protesters who “come to our city seeking confrontation.”
But some have been reminding the mayor of which groups have been notorious for violence and destruction.
Dear @MayorBowser:@realDonaldTrump supporters weren’t the ones rioting, looting big-screen TVs from Best Buy, tearing down Lincoln statues, torching churches, throwing rocks at police, and beating up innocent bystanders.
Those were #BLM, #antifa, & other @JoeBiden supporters. https://t.co/gRsAFwsjOS

The mayor has often sided with destructive and violent groups. She renamed a street in front of the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza” and ordered that the BLM slogan be painted on the pavement in giant letters. Some people are rightly pointing out her cowardice and hypocrisy.

Perhaps the national guard presence is more about the possible confrontation between the two divided political factions, and less about who throws the first punch. Hopefully, people start to figure out who is keeping the public divided so they can enslave them. Spoiler: It’s the ruling class, aka, politicians like Muriel Bowser.
As you mentioned,no such calls made when the BLM groups were burning and destroying everything.Gee,I wonder why? Oh I know because that group is allowed to do whatever the fuck they want!The rest of us have to live by rules which those thugs/rioters are seemingly exempt from! What a truly fucked up world we are living in!!
Bowser is just that. A bowser traitor. Do as I say not as I do. Where the the BLM office so we can treat it like ANTIFA treats folks. Aww, no? Don’t like that?? You f$%^ing hypocrite negro. Just STFU and invest in kevlar you coward.
Check your headline, “MAYOR OF DC REUESTED NATIONAL GUARD”
Keep up the great work:)
Great Idea!
Once she calls them up, their commander in chief can have the guard arrest the mayor.
