National Guard to leave DC this week, Pentagon says

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/national-guard-leave-dc-this-week

The National Guard will end its deployment in Washington, D.C. Sunday, May 23, after over four months with a presence at the nation’s Capitol.

Defense Department press secretary John Kirby said in a news conference Tuesday that 2,149 National Guard troops will return home this week after there were no further requests to extend the mission.

At its height, some 5,200 National Guard personnel were stationed at the Capitol in the fallout of the Jan. 6 riot, and fencing was erected around the building. The mission had already been extended once from March to May 23.

Looks like the news conference was Tuesday, but I’ve been out of pocket most of this week (darn auditors!).

Long past time for the National Guard to go home.

The National Guard were used by Nasty in her con and theater to keep the narrative going that “domestic terrorists” were coming for them and they HAD to be defended.
