“The oath that our members of the military take – they will not be firing upon … their own neighbors.
Only an idiot like Donald Trump would believe such a thing,” Gallego, a Marine veteran, said on CNN.
The Arizona Democrat’s comments came hours after Trump told an unprecedented gathering of more than 800 generals and admirals that he intends to deploy the National Guard and active duty military personnel to U.S. cities run by “radical” Democrats.
“I told Pete,” Trump said, referring to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military – National Guard, but military.”“We’re going to straighten them out, one by one,” Trump said.
Trump sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles in June in response to protests over immigration enforcement.
