Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden vowed to members of the National Guard he’ll never exploit them for political purposes, his latest effort to draw a contrast between himself and President Trump.
“I promise you, as president, I’ll never put you in the middle of politics or personal vendettas,” Biden said Saturday from his Wilmington, Del., home. “I’ll never use the military as a prop or as a private militia to violate rights of fellow citizens. That’s not law and order. You don’t deserve that.”
He was addressing a virtual meeting of the National Guard Association of America.
