ANNAPOLIS, MD– Today, Maryland Governor Wes Moore released the following statement on President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C.:
“President Trump’s decision to mobilize the National Guard to conduct municipal policing in D.C. lacks seriousness and is deeply dangerous.
“As someone who has served overseas in uniform and is commander-in-chief of the Maryland Guard, I take how, when, and why we deploy members of our armed forces personally and seriously. These actions by the president lack both data and a battle plan. He is simply using honorable men and women as pawns to distract us from his policies, which continue to drive up unemployment and strip away health care and food assistance from those who need it most.
“If the president wants to have a serious conversation about how to reduce violent crime, he should look at what we’ve been able to do in Maryland. We’ve achieved among the most impressive drops in violent crime anywhere in the country over the past two and a half years, and according to the most current data, homicides are down by more than 20% statewide since our inauguration. Baltimore is the safest it has been in five decades, through strong partnerships with Mayor Brandon Scott, law enforcement, and the people who call Baltimore home.
“We await outreach from the White House if they want to have a serious conversation about public safety. But we won’t hold our breath.”

He has to throw in cuts to his peeps who have all the freebies and continue to menace and steal as they please good call President Trump. Continue the PURGE in every liberal $hithole city there is ! Chitown and Philly next.

Moore is a lying bastard. Baltimore has one of the highest crime rates in the country. You can’t trust anyone who grins as much as this s.o.b.does
Wes, when you improve public safety in Baltimore, offer your insights. Until then, your lip flapping works against us.
That TURD has no clue about reducing crime and cleaning up DC
Gov Less is full of himself, which is his normal state. Waste of electronic ink.
what a worthless piece of crap! to bad he isn’t the victim of a crime….instead we are all his victims
He is SO bad for our state!
