Liberals are coming up with new election conspiracies surrounding President Trump.
The president said he may use the Insurrection Act to send troops to some cities to crack down on crime and protect ICE officers from attacks by protesters.
MSNBC host Katie Toole (and her team) spews out some conspiracies that President Trump is not sending in the military to reduce crime in communities, but rather trying to seize power and overturn the upcoming election.
“We’re seeing him (President Trump) deploying the military in American cities. There may not be a need to deploy the military specifically to polling places. Depending on the scenario, the military may already be deployed, as he claims on the ground to fight crime,” Ture said.
One of Tur’s guests was David Graham, a staff writer for The Atlantic. He went further than the MSNBC host, saying President Trump’s military actions could distract voters and discourage them from even going to the polls.
“The law, by its wording, forbids the military or armed people in general to the polling places. But if you already have those people (the military) out on the streets, by the time the election starts, the military will already be there,” Graham said.
Graham said some voters may be afraid to vote after seeing military presence in some cities.
“It could just be the kind of things that create a hassle. There’s obstacles, there’s heavy equipment, there’s all sorts of things that make it very difficult to get around. And then all of a sudden you go to the polling place and vote, it just takes too long and you can’t vote. So even these things that aren’t major intimidation can start to suppress the vote,” Graham said.
