FIRE(@TheFIREorg):President Trump said he’ll sue @amprog over this report that found the National Guard’s presence in several American cities hasn’t reduced violent crime. The president — and any of us — can disagree with the report, but the answer is to refute findings with data, not lawsuits. Alarmingly, Trump threatened to add some of the center’s donors to the lawsuit. Threatening non-profit donors sends a chilling message: Fund an organization that criticizes me, and you’ll be sued too. That’s wholly incompatible with a free society.
