We told you the other day that Mayor Bowser was denied the use of the National Guard to help her deal with all the illegals being bussed in from Texas and Arizona.
Well I guess she thinks she’s special, because she has renewed her demand that she be given use of the National Guard.
Here’s more via Newsmax:
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has renewed her request for the National Guard to help deal with the influx of migrants being bused to the nation’s capital by Texas and Arizona.
Bowser, a Democrat, announced her new request in a Thursday tweet. It came after the Defense Department rejected her initial request for National Guard help, saying the city has sufficient funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency that has been given to nonprofits in D.C. that can provide shelter and services for the influx.
Bowser tweeted on Thursday: “We need help from our federal partners as we seek to stabilize and manage our operating environment in this critical moment. I have been honored to work with the men and women of the DC National Guard many times and today we renewed our request for their assistance.”
In a Thursday letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser officially renewed the request for help.
She wrote: “As mayor since 2015, I’ve requested D.C. National Guard support nearly 50 times – to support our COVID-19 response, major events, and severe weather.
“Each time, these operational, apolitical requests have been granted. I have been honored to work with these men and women to keep our nation’s capital safe in times of great stress and I take very seriously my responsibility to honor their service with legitimate, on-mission request.”
I was happy when the DOD denied Bowser the first time because it meant she was going to have to deal with this ‘crisis’ the same way cities near the border were having to deal with it.
But for some reason she thinks that since she’s the mayor of Washington DC, that she ought to have access to resources these border cities don’t have.
The real truth of it is that she’s only having to deal with a small fraction of what these border cities have to deal with every day and yet her privilege is screaming for help.
I hope the DOD denies her again and does it swiftly.
