Oklahoma Governor Caves to Gavin Newsom’s Pressure and Opposes Trump’s National Guard Deployment

President Trump suffered an awful betrayal.

It came from inside the GOP.

And Donald Trump was red with rage over this blackmail scheme.

As Swamp Digest reports:

Polls show Newsom building momentum with Democrat Party primary voters as Newsom emerged as the face of the resistance to Trump’s deploying of National Guard troops to blue states to crack down on crime and illegal immigration.

Democrat mayors, governors and woke prosecutors ceded control of their streets to criminal thugs, Antifa terrorists and illegal aliens.

Trump deployed the National Guard to Portland and Chicago to re-establish law and order.

Many Republicans were taken aback when Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt attacked Trump for undermining states’ rights in an interview with the New York Times.

“We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights,” Stitt stated. “Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

Stitt then went on to attack fellow Republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas for voluntarily deploying his National Guard troops to Illinois when the state’s Democrat governor J.B. Pritzker sued to stop Trump from federalizing the Illinois guard.

“I was surprised that Governor Abbott sent troops from Texas to Illinois,” Stitt added. “Abbott and I sued the Biden administration when the shoe was on the other foot and the Biden administration was trying to force us to vaccinate all of our soldiers and force masks across the country.”

Oklahoma is on of the reddest states in America.

And many conservatives were confused as to why Oklahoma’s Republican Governor was siding with pro-open borders Democrats and defending sanctuary cities.

But Stitt’s rebuke of Trump stemmed from Stitt’s positions as Republican co-chairman of the supposedly nonpartisan National Governor’s Association.

Stitt caved in to pressure from Newsom and Pritzker who threatened to withdraw California and Illinois from the group unless other governors condemned Trump’s troop deployment.

Newsom demanded that the National Governor’s Association “denounce this infringement of state sovereignty and unequivocally tell the federal government that it is unacceptable to deploy troops from one state to another, over the objections of the Governor where troops are being sent.”

Pritzker, who also wants to run for President in 2028, sent a separate letter threatened to secede from the organization unless leadership caved to his demands.

“The credibility of the National Governors Association — and our integrity as state executives—rests on our willingness to apply our principles consistently, regardless of which administration attacks them. Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization. I remain hopeful that principled leadership will prevail over political calculation and we can chart a path forward together,” Pritzker wrote.

Donald Trump took over the Republican Party because GOP voters got sick of their elected officials rolling over for Democrats.

Stitt caving in to Newsom and Pritzker’s demands has many conservatives believing many establishment Republicans still haven’t learned the lesson of Trump’s rise.
