On Monday's episode of ABC's The View, hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin discussed President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles amidst rising immigration protests. They expressed apprehension over the legality of the move and questioned whether it escalates tensions. Goldberg highlighted the importance of states’ rights and criticized the decision to send troops without the state's governor's notification, while Hostin condemned the militarization of the Guard for protest management. Both co-hosts ominously suggested that such actions could lead to civil unrest and potential civil war.
Yeah, the Defense Department has the US Marines on high alert right now, Goldberg said. Now, you know, is it warranted, or does this sort of escalate the situation?
He is militarizing and deploying the Guard for the purpose of policing Americans' protest activity. This is certainly not a last-resort use of military troops.
