Rep. Max Miller wants to bring the National Guard to Cleveland.
Cross post from Ohio forum.
Miller’s district doesn’t even include Cleveland. Poor snowflake is afraid to go see a Guardians game. He might see scary brown people there, I guess.

“The people of Cleveland deserve to feel safe again. They deserve to live without fear. The people I represent should be able to go to a Guardians, Browns, or Cavs game without fearing for their lives. There is no higher duty of government than this,” Rep. Miller said.

Rep. Shontel Brown’s response (whose district includes Cleveland):
“Here’s the truth: crime in Cleveland is coming down. If you want to build on that progress, let’s start by telling the White House to stop cutting funding for violence prevention programs in our city, focus on getting guns out of the hands of criminals, and providing additional federal resources to our local partners. Deploying the Guard would only sideline local law enforcement, distract from real emergencies, and create chaos.
“I’m proud to represent Cleveland and my constituents want real solutions, not reality show stunts. Perhaps my colleague from the suburbs should turn his attention back to the fact that 22,000 of his constituents will lose health care because he voted to cut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to pay for tax cuts for the rich.”
