‘He’s actually trying to give his base red meat to get them off of the Epstein story and it’s on the backs of citizens in Washington, D.C.’

An MSNBC contributor was said to be “on the verge of having a meltdown” Monday immediately after President Donald Trump announced the National Guard would be deployed to end high crime in Washington, D.C.
Appearing on “Chris Jansing Reports,” contributor Eddie Glaude reacted to Trump’s plan, saying: “Chris, to be honest with you, I’m trying to hold my temper. I think there’s an ongoing argument that he’s having in his head with Black Lives Matter.
“There’s an ongoing argument that he’s having with the questions around criminal justice reform and police reform.
“It’s interesting that he really doesn’t really care about what’s actually happening in D.C. on a certain level, because he’s not trying to get at the underlying root causes. He’s not looking at examples of how to address rising crime rates that doesn’t require a form of policing that leads to increased incarcera[tion].”
