3:00Now Playing'Crazy as hell!' 'Distraction from Epstein' - Residents respond to #Trump takeover of Washington, DC
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMansa Musa, host of Rattling the Bars and a DC native himself, was on the ground for @therealnews talking to other residents and community organizers this week about President Trump's takeover of the nation's capital (including taking federal control over DC police; calling in the National Guard; intimidating, harassing, and arresting residents; ramping up ICE raids and collaboration between ICE and local police; and violently clearing encampments of people experiencing homelessness).
"Donald Trump is a pathological liar," Robert Brannum, a retired member of the DC National Guard, says. "He is a 34-counts convicted felon. He is not interested in making DC safe."
"The time is now to fight back," Afeni of FreeDC says. "It is not time for us to be anticipatorily compliant to what a fascist regime is asking [of] us"
