À propos de cette écoute

In today’s episode of Historical: Lest We Forget, host Lillian Cauldwell examines a critical question posed by Dietrich Knauth: Does U.S. law allow a president to send troops against protesters?Knauth highlights a past instance where the president deployed National Guard troops to California after days of protests against immigration raids, framing the demonstrations as a potential "rebellion" against federal authority.

Yet, when armed rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, killing security officers and threatening government officials, the same president did not mobilize the National Guard or Marines to protect federal property.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later deployed 700 active-duty Marines in response to protests—but does troop deployment only happen when a president views dissent as rebellion?Read Dietrich Knauth’s article and decide for yourself: Why does a sitting president send troops against protesters opposing him, but not when he incites an attack on the Capitol?
