Rep. Garamendi: Bringing in the Marines ‘Is About Trump Pretending that He Is the King’

EXCERPT:

GARAMENDI: "Well, clearly there‘s something else going here. As was just reported, the L.A. Police and the sheriff‘s department have the situation under control. The federalization of the National Guard and then bringing in the marines is something different. This is about Trump pretending that he is the king of this nation, that he has the ultimate power and authority to do anything he wants to do, regardless of law, regardless of tradition, and regardless of the tradition of the state governor in California and every other state really controlling their own National Guard. Very, very rarely has the president — only once in the last, what, 60, 70 years — overridden a local governor and taken control of the National Guard, and that was LBJ back in the 60s."
