Democrats Scramble to Save Face After National Guard ‘Banished’ to Parking Garage Following Biden Inauguration
MenRec ^ | 01/23/21 | Rusty

Several lawmakers expressed outrage following a report that National Guard troops had been “banished” to a parking garage after serving to defend against potential threats at the inauguration of President Biden.

Politico reported Thursday night that U.S. Capitol Police officials had the Guard troops removed from the facilities “sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty” following the Capitol riots in early January.

The report notes that outdoor temperatures in the area fell into the 40s, while conditions inside the parking garage for one unit of 5,000 consisted of just one electrical outlet and one bathroom.

One Guardsman conveyed his feelings about the situation to Politico.

“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service,” he said.

“Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage,” the Guardsman added. “We feel incredibly betrayed.”

...

The initial move to force them into a garage reflected poorly on Democrats considering the troops were used to help defend the inauguration of one of their own party members.

They're trying to cover up the fact that they used them as a prop for fake threat.

Ironic....

I guess the Guardsmen who had “Ties to right wing organizations” were spared this indignity.

Too late. They pissed off thousands of troops. They have to question how eager troops will be to defend them next time around.

Clueless, classless and corrupt!!

It’s my personal belief that class is NOT something you can fake and there’s NO substitute for it. No one has explained that to the Liberals!

They are from all over. Texas, Florida and New Hampshire are bringing them home. I heard Iowa is unhappy too. The weak kneed dem governors haven’t said a word and Ohio governor has been silent.

The NG’s should go home and call their stupid governors and tell them to eat you know what for his/her/IT’s lack of concern for IT’s action concerning IT’s troops. HERE IN ALABAMA WE LOVE THE MILITARY. Millions of us have served this nation and would again. These stinking Marxist’s only want the military when their asses are in a bind and need protecting.

I would offer this observation...as weak as the Capital Police were, and managed by 1-star leadership, the Nat’l Guard arrived and was getting the same treatment, same leadership. They were becoming ‘mall-guards’ like the Capital Police already were.

If you stand and look at the image....this is like late 1980s image of Panama, with Panamanian Army on street corners to convey some image of control. Conveys ‘banana-republic’ status.

The overall commander is a female General from Maryland. Obviously a complete incompetent if she allows such foul treatment of her prisoners.

(As Greg Kelly said yesterday, he’s slept in far worse conditions that a parking garage, but the fact that they brought thousands of soldiers in with zero logistics plans is shameful. Zero concern for those under her command.

Of course, RINO Lockdown Larry Hogan will do nothing but praise Biden and this incompetent General endlessly.

Dems never cared about saving face. Prime example: Bill Clinton.

So were these NG troops federalized, or did the various governors send them out of state to DC? The latter sounds like the President sending troops to another country. If Washington State sent NG to DC, shouldn't the state legislature have a say in that

And if the NG troops were federalized, who can do that besides the Commander in Chief?
