Denver TV news anchor Kyle Clark is putting President Donald Trump on blast for relocating U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, apparently to penalize Colorado for offering mail-in voting.
The 9News anchor had one word for these punitive measures Tuesday: authoritarianism.
“There’s an argument that Space Command truly belongs in Alabama,” Clark said on his show. “But President Trump makes clear, in word and in deed, what this is really about for him: It’s about using the military for his personal advantage in domestic policies.”
The “Next With Kyle Clark” host also pointed to the federal takeover of Washington, D.C., and predicted that states or cities that overwhelmingly vote for Trump likewise “won’t be targeted with troop deployments.”
“Vote for him, and your cities won’t be targeted with troop deployments. Vote for him and keep your military installations,” Clark added. “If all of this was happening in another nation, we would not hesitate to describe it clearly. If it was Kazakhstan instead of Colorado, Caracas instead of Chicago, we would call it by name — it’s authoritarianism.”
