Sen. Lankford: Trump Deployed Troops to Calif. To De-Escalate Tensions

RUSH EXCERPT:
LANKFORD: "Yeah. I think what President Trump’s trying to do is pretty clear. He’s trying to de-escalate tensions that are there. We’re watching burning cars and people waving American flags at local law enforcement, concrete blocks being thrown at federal law enforcement. We watched this kind of scene five, six years ago when there was a takeover in the northwest around Seattle and Portland, when we watch all that happen and local law enforcement was being challenged over and over again, it finally took a national guard presence to be able to bring it down after weeks. What President Trump is going to do, it’s not going to take weeks, we will not allow this to spiral out of control. This is an American city and to van American city where we have people literally flying Mexican flags and saying you cannot arrest edn█us violates the law. They should face consequences for that."
