McAdams dodges questions on Utah National Guard

June 5, 2020

While the Utah National Guard is doing its duty, Ben McAdams doesn’t have the spine to take a position on it. 

When specifically asked by Deseret News if the Utah National Guard should be in DC, Ben McAdams didn’t answer the question. 

It’s a straightforward yes or no question, and instead of defending his state and constituents McAdams is dodging the question because he thinks that’s most politically advantageous.

McAdams also hasn’t commented on DC Mayor Bowser kicking the Utah National Guard out of DC hotels. 

Here is some of what the Utah National Guard is doing in DC:
