Never-Trumper Jonah Goldberg defected from Fox News to serve as a token pseudoconservative on the leftist propaganda platform CNN. Here’s what he thinks of Trump using the National Guard to restore law and order in Democrat-run cities that have degenerated into violent chaos:
“I’m all for crime reduction. But the conservatives who are celebrating this… You listen to the mayor of Chicago talk about the gun crisis in America. Well, what is to stop, given the precedents that Donald Trump is setting, what is to stop a Democrat, a Governor Pritzker, a Governor Newsom, say, ‘You know, we have a gun crisis in America, just as legitimate on the facts arguments as a crime crisis,’ and say ‘We’re going to send the National Guard into states to go get their guns’?”
To answer Goldberg’s question, two things stop the Democrats: first, the US Constitution; second, the guns themselves.
Goldberg seems to agree with hard left kooks like Brandon Johnson that Americans exercising their right to keep and bear arms so as to defend themselves constitutes a “crisis”:
CNN is now floating the idea that the next Democratic President will order the military to go door-to-door to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans.
I sincerely hope they never get that stupid.
That's what you would call the start of our second Civil War. pic.twitter.com/PdFVwzErqg

Maybe Goldberg was always a closet liberal, and his Trump derangement syndrome only revealed it. Or maybe TDS drove him politically insane. In either case, CNN is welcome to him.
