In a long, scathing interview, a member of the DC National Guard accuses the Trump administration of "parading [us] around to intimidate people." He talks candidly about what his deployment has been like.

Unfortunately, 7 Democrats voted for the DHS funding and not a single Democratic Representative has the courage to CALL THEM OUT BY NAME for their lack of loyalty to the Constitution.
