Members of a crowd filled with members of the military and their families booed and jeered President Trump’s political rivals at the president’s prompting during his address at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

The response from attendees, most of whom were wearing military fatigues, was a jarring sight given the military’s history as a traditionally nonpartisan entity. Presidents have historically drawn criticism when they have been seen as using the military as a political pawn.

At one point, Trump invoked the unrest in Los Angeles, where demonstrations in response to immigration raids have at times turned violent. The president referred to the “governor of California” and “the mayor of Los Angeles,” which triggered boos from some in the audience directed at Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Mayor Karen Bass (D).
