Lemire: D.C. Could Be a Trap, It’s Akin to What We Saw in Los Angeles

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: “Yeah, I think it's a really split verdict here. As Susan and others have said, there are some who think this is good. Others say, you know, it's worrisome. They don't want to see President Trump, you know, meddle with local affairs there in Washington. You're right to say that D.C. is a little different. It is the nation's capital. Also, because it's the federal city, the president and Congress have a lot more authority there than they would somewhere else. But you're right to suggest this could be a trap. It's akin to, of course, what we saw in Los Angeles a few months ago when the National Guard was deployed there.”
