WORCESTER, MA– Congressman Jim McGovern has grave concerns over what he described as the militarization of the capital, viewing the National Guard’s presence as political “theater” and a step towards a police state rather than a genuine solution to crime. “I worry that what makes this country special and unique, our democracy, our freedoms, our separation of powers is being eroded daily by this president. And it is really quite frightening.”
McGovern feels that the President is eroding American democracy and freedom, citing the creation of a new, National Guard, rapid response team under direct presidential control and the display of the President’s image on government buildings as evidence of a move toward authoritarianism. “What would we think if this were another country? And the reality is we would think that it’s a police state.”
McGovern also confirmed his intention to reintroduce an amendment to force the release of the Epstein files, emphasizing the need for transparency.
