GOP Megadonor Funds National Guard Troops to Texas

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) announced that she’s sending 50 of her state’s National Guard troops to Texas, Insider reports.

“While sharing National Guard troops across state lines is not unusual for governors, it typically involves a crisis such as a natural disaster in a neighboring state.”

“Another unusual aspect of Noem’s announcement is that the 30 to 60 day deployment will be ‘paid for by a private donation.'”
