Dem Who Called Trump Sending National Guard ‘Abuse Of Power’ Thought Differently When Obama Was In White House

Democratic Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens is facing another controversy after being caught earlier in the week touting a fake endorsement of her Senate campaign.

Stevens blasted former Republican Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, the Trump-endorsed candidate in the race, on Thursday for Rogers calling on the president to send the National Guard to Detroit to combat crime. The Michigan Democrat posed a similar request to deploy troops to another crime-ridden city in 2016 when former President Barack Obama was in office — from the same social media account.

“Mike Rogers just called to deploy the National Guard to Detroit,” Stevens wrote on the social media platform X on Thursday. “Was wrong in and it’s wrong now.”

“This is exactly why I introduced a bill to stop Trump’s abuse of power, because this chaos won’t stop in someone else’s community,” Stevens continued. “It’ll come to ours unless we do something.”

Stevens, however, called for sending the National Guard into Chicago in the wake of 60 people being shot over the July 4 weekend in 2016. The Michigan Democrat did not win election to Congress until Nov. 2018.

“Enough is enough,” Stevens wrote on social media at the time.
