Sen. Blackburn Applauds National Guard Move to Memphis

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., on Friday applauded President Donald Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Memphis to address crime concerns.

“We are grateful for everything President Trump has already done to Make Memphis Safe Again with the help of FBI Director Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi,” Blackburn said in a press release.

“Today, President Trump answered my call to do whatever it takes to Make Memphis Safe Again, and I applaud his decision to send the National Guard to Memphis following his tremendous success in reducing violent crime in Washington, D.C.
