Trump Cabinet Members Moving Into Military Housing Amid Wave of Political Violence: Report [View all]

Source: Mediaite.com

A number of high-profile members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet have moved onto military bases amid a wave of political violence.

In August, the Washington Post reported that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had been living rent-free on a military base in the Washington area. The move, spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, came as a result of Noem being “horribly doxxed and targeted” to the point that she was “no longer able to safely live in her own apartment.”

As noted in the report, the house she moved into at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling is normally reserve for top navy admirals. According to a Thursday report from The Atlantic, Noem isn’t the only one. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, and a number of others have made similar moves. The report continued:

"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers."
