AINSLEY EARHARDT (FOX HOST): So the president implemented this Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force and in less than a week they’ve taken 100 violent criminals off the streets. I think it’s great. I wouldn’t mind seeing the National Guard, especially if it’s in areas where there is a lot of crime. I mean, think about Times Square. There is a lot of crime there. We cover a lot of stories there. If they had National Guard troops in Times Square it would make me feel safer.

    It’s a FNC host. They are rehearsed corporate propagandists. They will try out many lines to see what sticks in support of their agenda - in this case, militarized police via the NG.

    Note that this general trend is bipartisan in its essence, they just use different terminology and implementations. The previous administration inflated federal funding for police and their use of “free” military equipment. You might get to enjoy this at future protests when they give you permanent hearing damage with an LRAD.

    Both of these came in response to protests. It is the capitalist boot being laced to stomp on our faces. When we demand racial justice, no genocide, really anything against capital, they will do this. We have to be ready for it and not take advice from them on how to organize politically or protest.
