When she was the governor of her state, Nome strongly opposed the federalization of the National Guard;
However, after she became the Secretary of Homeland Security, she strongly advocated for the federalization of the National Guard;
The reason for her opposition before was that the main responsibility of the National Guard was to serve the needs of the state, and federalization might weaken the state government's control over this important force.
Now her support is based on the argument that federalizing the National Guards of all states is a necessary means to combat criminal gangs and restore law and order.
Isn't this a typical example of "sitting in what position determines what you say"? Depending on where you sit, you just say what you want, without any consideration for the Constitution and laws?
What's even more interesting is that as Nome has already taken action in Los Angeles, a Democratic stronghold, the Defense Secretary Hargis, who used to be a platoon leader, naturally couldn't fall behind. He also lent a helping hand.
Hargis threatened to mobilize the active-duty forces of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton and kept the possibility of deploying the 101st Airborne Division.
Capturing immigrants, using the National Guard is not enough, now they want to use the Marine Corps, and there is no excluding the possibility of deploying the famous 101st Airborne Division in Democratic strongholds.
This is the United States of America, ha... it's really scary! Encountering such American officials is like meeting an uncivilized savage in the forest, speechless.
