“Donald Trump's position on the National Guard, inserting them into Washington, D.C., allegedly trying to put them into places like Chicago and Baltimore, has shades of 1968 when the Republican Party first took over law and order as an issue and then remained strong with that issue since 1968. Richard Nixon campaigned for president talking about law and order throughout the country…But today… it’s a misuse of the National Guard. You insert them into a city where probably more likely than not many members of that unit don't come from the District of Columbia. They don't know the neighborhood, they don’t know the players in neighborhoods, from one neighborhood to another, and they’re wasting their time really,” says Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle about President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. as part of his crackdown on crime.
