Fox’s Shannon Bream Argues Biden Should Send In National Guard To Quell Campus Protests If He Wants To Win ‘Youth Voters’

Fox News host Shannon Bream made an appearance on The Five Friday where she argued that President Joe Biden should send the National Guard to quell the unrest on college campuses if he wants to get the “youth voters.”

“I can understand these people being so upset and frustrated that they are missing out on a second big milestone in their life,” Bream said of the students who could be forced to miss their college graduation ceremonies due to the pro-Palestinian protests. She continued:

I think if the Biden White House wants to get these youth voters, you’ve got to decide which side you’re going to want to lay your claim to, here. But, a lot of young people, yes, they’re upset with how you’re handling this Gaza situation with Israel. But a lot of other people, a greater percentage, seem to be very upset about how this is impacting their college experience.

And, the White House said yesterday, the spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, that this is up to governors about sending National Guard in, settling things down, it’s not for the president. We all know the president is, in history, has sent the National Guard in on campuses where there is trouble into riots. They got to start having a conversation about, if you’re going to say you are the party of law and order and rule of law, why are you not helping the students who are having something so precious snatched away from them?

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) demanded this week that President Biden send the National Guard to restore order at Columbia University.

National Guard historians have listed “12 times since the enactment of the 1952 Armed Forces Reserve Act when the Guard was called into duty and operated under the control of the president.” They include:

• 1957 for the Desegregation of Little Rock school
• 1962 for the Integration of University of Mississippi (2 civilians killed)
• 1963 Integration of University of Alabama
• 1963 Integration of Alabama schools
• 1965 Selma, Montgomery civil rights march
• 1967 Detroit riots (43 people killed)
• 1968 Chicago riots following assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (12 killed)
• 1968 Washington riots following King’s murder
• 1968 Baltimore riots following King’s murder (6 killed)
• 1970 New York City Postal Strike
• 1989 Looting after Hurricane Hugo
• 1992 Riots after Rodney King verdict (60 killed, 2,000 injured)
