Just following the Guardian live feed. WTF is wrong with Trump and his people? He/they lie about everything. All the time.
Here’s from Trump and the DOJ:
“Working with the Governor and state and local law enforcement, the Department of Justice is deploying federal assets, including from the FBI and US Marshals, to assist in the response to the riots and unrest,” spokesperson Kerri Kupec said.
Trump said in an earlier tweet that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers had agreed to accept federal assistance.
Here’s from the governor:
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers denied that he accepted federal assistance in Kenosha, contradicting an earlier tweet from Trump.
The Democratic governor’s office told CNN that Evers declined the president’s offer to deploy federal agents to the city for the second day in a row.
Evers’ office explained his decision by citing the increased presence of state forces in Kenosha amid protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Trump says Evers accepted FBI and Federal Marshals help. Evers says he did NOT accept the offer of federal help because there are adequate state resources. What the hell kind of futhermucking psychotic schizoid dystopian world are we living in?
