Democratic governors in Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware have turned down requests from Defense Secretary Mark Esper to offer National Guard troops to help with security in Washington, DC
In some instances, the Defense Department was counting on troop support from those states before the governors intervened."I can confirm that personnel from the NY National Guard were expected to move to DC last night, but permission was withdrawn by the governor," Lt. Col. Chris Mitchell, a Pentagon spokesman, said Tuesday morning.During his daily press briefing, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that New York's National Guard was completely focused on the state.
And we haven't requested assistance from other states."In addition to being concerned about needing the troops in his own state to deal with violence in Virginia cities, Northam was also concerned about contributing to the response in Washington after President Donald Trump's call with governors on Monday, in which he lambasted them over what he said were insufficient responses to unrest in the wake of George Floyd's death.
