    “The View” host Sunny Hostin claimed during a Monday broadcast that President Donald Trump was “militarizing” the U.S. Army National Guard when he deployed troops to quell the violent protests in Los Angeles, arguing that by doing
    so, he would ultimately set the stage for a “civil war.”

    Hostin discussed the ongoing protests in Los Angeles — as well as the Trump administration’s efforts to protect federal agents as the protests got more
    and more violent — with her fellow cohosts on the ABC midday talk show, and they complained that Trump’s plan to deport criminal illegal aliens was the real problem.

    “The Defense Department has the U.S. Marines on high alert right now,” cohost Whoopi Goldberg began in mocking tones. “Now, you know, is it warranted or
    does this sort of escalate the situation? I mean, whatever happened to
    state’s rights?”

    “I thought that what’s you do, ’cause you tell the state that this is what you’re thinking, you know, you don’t just send people in, you don’t just send troops in,” Goldberg claimed. “But what do I know, I’ve never run a state?
    But I don’t really — when you come in and everyone is — when you go into the doughnut shop to look for people and you’re dressed in tactical gear, you’re creating an issue. You’re creating a problem.”

    Sunny Hostin decries Trump “militarizing” the National Guard and
    claims he’s going to have them start a “Civil War.”

    Hostin jumped in then, claiming that Trump was “militarizing” the National Guard — despite its existence as a state-based military force since 1636 and being attached to the United States Army officially in 1933 — by sending
    troops to keep the peace after protesters attacked ICE agents and their vehicles.

    “I think what really matters from sort of a long view here is the fact that
    he is militarizing and deploying the Guard for the purpose of policing Americans’ protest activity, our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly,” Hostin insisted, suggesting that the National Guard had been brought in to silence the protesters rather than to keep them from damaging more property
    and hurting people.

    Hostin went on to argue that “an army turned inside” to police the citizens within the country would ultimately result in “chaos and fascism.”

    “And civil war,” she agreed as Goldberg prompted her. “I think that’s the way we need to look at it because deploying the National Guard is supposed to be
    a last resort.”

    Hostin then claimed that Trump had promised to deploy the National Guard anywhere in the country that protests occurred. What Trump has actually said, on a number of occasions, was that the federal government would step in and shut down violent riots if and when it became apparent that local authorities
    — in this case, Mayor Karen Bass (D-LA) and Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) —
    were either unable or unwilling to do so.

    Does this stunted bimbo not realize that the national guard is a military organization? That it's militarized by its very nature and always has been since before the Revolutionary War?

    "The Defense Department has the U.S. Marines on high alert right now," cohost

    Whoopi Goldberg began in mocking tones. "Now, you know, is it warranted or does this sort of escalate the situation? I mean, whatever happened to state’s rights?"

    Suddenly we have a concern about state's rights from a blathering hippopotamus any mention of state's rights in any other context a "code word" for white supremacy.

    Hostin went on to argue that "an army turned inside" to police the citizens within the country would ultimately result in “chaos and fascism.”

    Weird how that didn't happen when Eisenhower deployed the guard down to Arkansas to desegregate the schools, and just like today, over the objection
    of the governor. Did we descend into fascism and chaos, Sunny? Or is it different when the guard is deployed in service to a political agenda with which you agree?

    "And civil war," she agreed as Goldberg prompted her. "I think that's the way

    we need to look at it because deploying the National Guard is supposed to be a last resort."

    Deploying the guard in Arkansas held a much greater chance of civil war than doing it now does, you dumb bint. And even if war broke out this time, it wouldn't be a civil war. A civil war is when the people of a nation fight against themselves. In this case, it would be illegal alien foreign nationals under the banners of foreign countries fighting Americans. That's not a civil war. That's just a regular war.

    If Sunny is doing her usual schtick she will probably blame Trump for
    THAT war as well.
