Michigan Senate Candidate Mike Rogers Calls for National Guard in Detroit
Form US rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mi), The Trump-Endobved Republican Senate Candidates for Michigan, Called for President Donald Trump to Deploy the National Guard to Detroit to “Give these Neighborhoods Back” to Law-Abiding Citizens in An Exclusive Interview Breitbart News on Saturday.
Rogers, who announcement His Senate campaign in April, Matthew Boyle demanded that the mayor of Detroit, Mike Duggan, told Trump in Washington, DC, the crime to come to his city.
“What I said essentially was:” Hey, Mr. Mayor, wins the phone and calls the president and asks for a safeguard. We are the second most violent city in the country, behind Memphis, “said the former member of the Congress.
He continued: “There are a lot of districts in Detroit which are simply not safe, and it is not just for people who respect the rules. You know, simply because you are poor or in the lower middle class does not mean that you have to endure crime in this way, at least in my mind.”
According to Rogers, Duggan “tried to challenge the statistics” on the crime crisis in the city, so he presented live crime reports live in the air.
“You know, the mayor tried to challenge the statistics. Okay, well, they were given a strait to the FBI, and this is where we obtained these statistics. And by the way, what it shows is that we are around 536% higher on aggravated attacks, 580% higher than the national average for murder, 180% for rape, 240% higher for Robbery. ”
Rogers then castigated one of his democratic opponents, the representative Haley Stevens (D-Mi), for his hypocrisy; She called the National Guard to come to Chicago in 2016 after more than 60 people were shot dead during the weekend of independence day, but said that Rogers’s call to Detroit was “false”.
“It’s time to call in the National Guard. Just enough,” Stevens wrote on July 5, 2016, with a link to a USA today Item pointing out the shoots:
The Democrat deputy contradicted herself in another article written last week, writing: “Mike Rogers has just called to deploy the National Guard to Detroit. Was wrong in ’67 and that’s bad now. ”
“This is exactly why I presented a bill to stop the abuse of power of Trump, because this chaos will not stop in the community of someone else. It will come to us unless we do something,” added Stevens:
Rogers told Boyle: “One of my potential opponents attacked me, saying that it is a terrible idea, even if this particular candidate called for the National Guard to go to Chicago to fight violent crimes in 2016.”
“So it was an interesting trip here. But all my thing is, listen-if we continue to do the same thing again and again, we will get the same result, so that the fifth year students can understand this,” he continued. “Well, you have to break the cycle. And I think what you saw in Washington, DC, breaks the cycle. “
The Hope of the Senate added that a cycle break is also necessary in the education system, which, according to him, “condemns” students to poverty by not teaching them.
“If I look here in Michigan, the Democrats have failed Michigan and they failed our children … If you do not read in fourth year, you have 70% of you to find yourself in prison or in the event of well-being,” said Rogers. “We have almost half of the fourth year students in the state of Michigan cannot read at the fourth year, which means that they are going to any good place, right?”
“We condemn them to poverty,” he said.
