General David H. Berger, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps., refused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s request to use the Corps. to safeguard Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration from Trump supporters and insurrectionists.
A Pentagon source speaking under promise of anonymity told Real Raw News that Pelosicontacted Gen. Berger late Monday night, and she beseeched him to commit 5,000 troops to help ensure a peaceful transition of power and to prevent a repeat of the Jan 6 siege of the Capitol. Gen. Berger, our source said, didn’t understand why Pelosi needed additional soldiers to augment an already impressive force assembled by federal and state officials. That force includes 15,000 National Guard from D.C., Delaware, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and an undisclosed number of FBI and DHS agents who arrived in D.C. Sunday night.
Pelosi said she wanted “battle ready” reinforcements because “radicalized Trump supporters and kooky Qanon conspiracy people” were about to converge on D.C. She implored him to reconsider, arguing that it was the general’s patriotic duty to quell uprisings and guarantee Biden’s ascension to the Oval Office.
Her statement made the general explode, our source said.
“Don’t lecture me on patriotism, Madam Speaker. I’ve served this country with distinction for 40 years. I’ve spilled blood for our nation. What have you, a self-serving elected official, done for your country?” Gen. Berger said.
Pelosi further enraged him by saying he was answerable to Congress.
“I answer only to the president, and as I understand it, Donald J. Trump is still president and commander-in-chief. I abide in the Constitution as it was written, not your interpretation of it,” Gen. Berger admonished Pelosi.
Quoting our source, “When her intimidation tactic failed to sway Gen. Berger, Pelosi tried a different tactic: Begging and flattery.”
Pelosi claimed that the National Guard’s “weekend warriors” were ill-prepared to repel an army of “mad Trumpists.” Battle-hardened marines, however, were more capable of defeating “rabble rousers,” she said. “You have the best trained soldiers in the world, and America needs them.”
Gen. Berger was unmoved. The only way Marines would be deployed, he told her, was if President Trump himself issued that order.
“If you want us to help combat his supporters, I suggest you get him on the phone and tell him that. If he orders me to, I will. Otherwise, I suggest you listen really hard to the words escaping your cracked, poisonous lips; they’re tantamount to treason,” Gen. Berger allegedly told her.
ll those Troops occupying the Streets and the Halls of Congress are only there to protect the Elitist Politicians from an imaginary threat resulting from the success of the Propaganda Ministry.>>>>>>>>>>>
Ita LL IMgery, a part of a campaign to make sure the People know who to vote for unless they want to be punished,,,,no help for you from COVID if you speak up,,,lose your job.....lose your business platform on line. Its pretty clear.
t’s amazing what a couple of hundred of Idiots who made the decision to break into the Capitol Building have managed to accomplish for the Leftists>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Bought and paid for by the left , a false flag operation that was breaching the capitol 20 minutes before the President finished speaking, pre-positioned ordnance, some Capitol police even let the mob in ascaptured on video.
This was planned and now the FBI is trying to hang the plan on Trunp supporters...but whty were so many ANTIFA locals in the crowd that stormed the Capitol...coincidence..????

Don’t shoot me bro.!
Buahahahahahaha!
No marine General would EVER address a Congresscritter in such a manner
It’s false, because they quote the general as claiming to have shed blood for the country. He would not claim that if it were not true, and his portraits don’t show him wearing the purple heart.
That may come back to bite the Corps, come funding time.
I agree the whole thing is likely fabricated. But then why can’t we quote anonymous source leaks like the New Yourk Times?
I am very happy that not one Freeper commenting here was fooled by it, unlike the left who believe every propaganda piece of theirs is true,
We are BACK baby. This proves it.We are not going away anytime soon.
"Warriors" would be better...but that might pi$$ off some fake Injuns and white liberals.
Yeah...I think this is total BS.
See here and go through the videos:

The Capitol building is open to the public.
Apparently not.
Didn’t they put the Visitor Center Underground so the Politicians like Harry Reid wouldn’t have to smell them?
Has the USMC issued a denial yet?
“I don’t believe this. I want to believe this, but I don’t.”
Pelosi is stupid enough to do this but a general is not going to express that degree of disrespect to the Speaker of the House.
None that I have seen.
IMHO they will not lower themselves.
After 40 years he might not mind.
