The two Governors leading this move are: Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota; and Rick Perry, Governor of Texas.
Apparently whoever wrote this nonsensical conspiracy theory is not aware Tim Pawlenty is no longer governor of Minnesota.
In essence, the Governors would have “de facto control” of the United States.
Laughable. I've seen the Virginia Defense Force people at various gun shows and they wouldn't be able to take control of squat.
Same with TN. In fact, they’re not allowed to be armed.
You got that right. The VDF is barely a step above the Boy Scouts. In some cases, the Boy Scouts would have the upper hand. It's a shame because there are many retired colonels and generals in Old Dominion who could whip them in to shape (old school style) if they had the blessings of the Governor and the General Assembly.
