We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses.”Trump previously signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the police last Summer. He also deployed hundreds of federal agents and National Guard troops across the capital.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v78z0os","div":"rumble_v78z0os"});The post (VIDEO) Socialist Candidate, Who Trump Threatened with Federalization of DC, Declares Win in Race to Replace DC Mayor Muriel Bowser – Vows to “Stand Up to Trump” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
