The Trump administration has activated the National Guard to protect monuments during anti-racism protests in Washington, according to a report.
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt requested the deployment this week, Fox News first reported, citing a senior defense official.
The move follows the toppling on Friday of DC’s only statue of a Confederate leader, Albert Pike, near the city’s police headquarters. On Monday, protesters unsuccessfully tried to topple a statue of President Andrew Jackson facing the White House.
President Trump called the assault on Jackson’s statue, which was lassoed with ropes, a “sneak attack” and warned activists they face up to 10 years in prison under the Veterans’ Memorial Preservation Act.
The number of people protesting against racism and police brutality in Washington has diminished since an initial wave of protests in late May and early June against the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police.

The "protesting" (aka murders, destruction of property, and mayhem) will cease now upon command. The thugs for hire will be ready and willing when called again soon.
Now is the time to turn back to the dreadful COVID-19 Psyop.
