Published | Video Starts at 00:42

Washington, D.C. this morning, this morning I asked Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to respond to the possibility of the National Guard being sent to Wisconsin. If they sent National Guard people in Wisconsin, they're sending the wrong people. National Guards, Guardsmen and women... they're not trained police officers, simple as that. as that. And to somehow, you know, you look at what they're doing in D.C. they're taking care of the trash and things like that. That's just not the use of National Guards people. (00:42–00:51)
