Vermont Governor Phil Scott Just Told Trump Hell No — Again
In a bold move that has captured attention nationwide, Vermont Governor Phil Scott has once again refused to deploy his National Guard to Washington, D.C. as requested by former President Trump. This decision comes amidst increasing tensions and calls for a crackdown on protests and unrest in the nation’s capital. Governor Scott’s firm stance highlights his commitment to the principles of governance and the autonomy of state resources.
He’s Refusing to Deploy His National Guard to D.C. as Part of the Crackdown
Governor Scott’s refusal to send troops to D.C. underscores his concern about the implications of such a deployment. By saying “no troops,” he emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the Vermont National Guard. His decision reflects a growing trend among governors who prioritize the safety and well-being of their troops over political pressures. This move has sparked conversations about state sovereignty and the appropriate use of National Guard forces.
No Troops. No Rubber Bullets. No Loyalty Test.
In a further display of dissent against federal directives, Governor Scott made it clear that there would be no use of “rubber bullets” or any form of excessive force. His refusal to comply with what some view as a loyalty test sends a powerful message about the importance of civil liberties and the need for restraint in law enforcement practices. This commitment to ethical governance resonates with many citizens who are advocating for peaceful resolutions rather than militarized responses.
Governor Phil Scott’s recent actions are a testament to the complexities of state-federal relationships, especially in times of crisis. By standing firm, he is encouraging a national dialogue about the role of local leaders in shaping public safety and governance.
