Trump's Double Standard: National Guard Deployed in L.A., But Not During Capitol Riot

President Trump's contrasting responses to the January 6th Capitol riot and the 2025 Los Angeles protests have sparked debate and scrutiny. In a recent ABC News report, Jon Karl highlighted the president's decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles, while noting the absence of such action during the attack on the Capitol. "The real comparison here is the calls at the time while the Capitol was under attack," Karl stated, emphasizing the delayed response to the January 6th event. This stark contrast underscores the complexities of presidential decision-making during times of national crisis and raises questions about the consistency of the administration's approach to maintaining law and order. The differing responses have fueled discussions about political motivations and potential biases in the deployment of federal resources. The events underscore the importance of a swift and decisive response to threats against democratic institutions.
