[quote=Anonymous][twitter]https://mobile.twitter.com/FenitN/status/1272895935002095619[/twitter] [quote]“There’s no doubt in my mind if this were a Republican city and a white city that this would have happened some time ago, and it should happen,” said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who was a longtime opponent of statehood[/quote] Statehood for DC is especially important now that the country has seen that without being a state, DC has no say over national guard deployments. If DC were a state and Bowser the governor, the national guard and federal prison riot cops could have fortified the White House as much as they want, but Black Lives Matter Plaza / 16th street would have been under state control.
