Well, howdy there, internet people, it's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump versus Red State governors.

Trump's move of using the National Guard from one state against Americans in another state

is starting to get pushback from what should be a likely source.

But honestly, there was a lot of doubt they'd speak up at all.

Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt is the chair of the National Governors Association.

The NGA has a number of tasks, but one of them is maintaining the power of the executives of the various states.

Abigail Cave is a spokesperson for Stitt, and she said the Oklahoma governor supports Trump's end, but not his means.

Basically, the governor doesn't believe Trump should deploy troops from one state to a

different state if that governor objects to the National Guard presence. The spokesperson said,

quote, when it's governor's working together, it's a very different story. But this whole situation

where one state's governor is sending

their National Guard troops over the objections of another state's governor, that sets a very

dangerous precedent. Even though Oklahoma's governor is the chair, this still doesn't seem to be

official opposition from the NGA, though.

Andy Bashir, the governor of the reliably red state of Kentucky, who is a Democrat, kind of gave off

disappointed dad vibes when he said, quote, in the past, it has always stood up for the powers and the rights of governors.

And right now, it's doing nothing as a president is trying to send National Guard into states

over the objection of the governors and doing so unlawfully.

He went on to say, quote, we don't militarize our communities.

It's one of the tenets of our very founding. What Donald Trump and Pete Hexseth are doing is wrong.

It is un-American. A number of former governors who are Republican have spoken out as well.
