In defense of President Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops in the nation's capital, the White House has put out a "fact sheet" of scary statistics on crime in Washington, DC. It's about what you'd expect: a bunch of brazen, lazy, easily disproven garbage.

MAGA need to wake up.

This corrupt president is re-writing history right in front of everyone.

"The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets' red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star Spangled Banner waved defiant."

"MAGA need to wake up"
