DC Mayor Muriel Bowser says Trump's military parade should be 'accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads'
|
 [THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has said that if the Trump administration plans to have a military parade in the nation's capital, that the parade should be "accompanied with millions and millions of dollars to repair the roads."
Reports have indicated President Donald Trump
 ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
is planning on hosting a military parade in Washington, DC on June 14 to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army as well as his 79th birthday. Bowser was asked about the reports during a presser.
She was asked by a news hound, "The first time that the President was in office, he had talked about military tanks running down Pennsylvania Avenue. There was some pushback from the city. Yeah. Would you have the same kind of pushback?"
"Yeah, military tanks on our streets would not be good. If military tanks were used they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads. ... The other thing I'll note is, I think our initial report is that it would be starting from Virginia, from Arlington," Bowser said.
The news hound noted that the parade would be starting at the Pentagon in Arlington, and the mayor said that Department of Homeland Security had "reached out" to the special events taskforce, which is in charge of events such as parades.
Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis said of the plans regarding the military parade, "It's not clear to me what the scope of a parade would be. But I would hope the federal government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous [military] veteran residents who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army's anniversary."
Is President Trump Planning a Military Parade for Army's 250th Birthday? Here's what we know
[CommonDefense] President Donald Trump appears to be planning a military parade in Washington, D.C., that would celebrate both the 250th anniversary of the United States Army and his own 79th birthday on June 14th.
The move has already drawn sharp criticism from familiar corners of the media and the political class, but for many conservatives, it reflects a patriotic commitment to honoring the men and women who defend this nation.
According to a report from Washington City Paper, Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis
| …immigrant Greek-American with an MA in economics from Berlin’s Freie Universität and a whole bunch of languages, suggesting high likelihood he is a Progressive even before his snide comments about the president… |
disclosed that the White House had given local officials a “heads up” about a possible military parade stretching four miles through the capital.
While no official announcement has been made, Karantonis noted the early warning came last Friday.
“It’s not clear to me what the scope of a parade would be,” Karantonis said.
“But I would hope the federal government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous [military] veteran residents who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army’s anniversary.”
The criticism is not unexpected. The mainstream media and progressive commentators have long framed any display of military strength as dangerous or authoritarian—especially when associated with Donald Trump.
