Tim Dillon Breaks With Trump Over Militarized D.C. Crackdown

Dillon casts the federal policing push in Washington as a civil‑liberties overreach that could chill tourism.

Overview

  • On his podcast, Dillon condemned the federal takeover of D.C.’s police and the National Guard deployment, calling it a “fascist kind of wet dream.”
  • He argued that crime should be addressed by local police rather than military forces, saying, “We don’t need National Guard.”
  • Citing tourism concerns, he warned that visible military patrols make U.S. cities feel eerie and claimed Vegas hotel rooms are down about 33 percent.
  • He linked the crackdown and expanded surveillance to long‑running Alex Jones themes, saying, “This is everything Alex Jones always talked about.”
  • Mediaite noted Dillon had been viewed as friendly to the administration, and it highlighted his July exchange with Alex Jones in which he said Attorney General Pam Bondi should be fired and relayed a denial from Vice President J.D. Vance about alleged incriminating videos.
