A Democrat strategist told CNN Wednesday that adding 500 additional National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. would create “more targets” for shootings.
CNN host Erica Hill asked Democrat strategist Donte Mills on “CNN NewsNight” about the legal battle of keeping the National Guard in the nation’s capital in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting that critically injured two guardsmen.
“The administration filing this emergency today saying we want to keep them in, and the president saying, I want 500 more troops. How much does that sort of muddy the waters legally, given everything that we saw today?” Hill asked.
