If this video does show National Guard troops turning their back on the Biden motorcade, who took this video and why would they leak it?
Or were troops simply facing both directions looking for possible threats?
What are we witnessing?
How can we be sure the video came from Biden’s motorcade?
Thousands of NG, proudly farting in Biden’s general direction.
The clip I saw was from an ABC reporter in the motorcade. I hope it’s true and hope to see more of this peaceful protest against an illegitimate president.
Maybe it’s a video taken from a press car going by those troops long after Biden had passed by. Our troops are professional. Watching a video without a date and time stamp can be iffy
Hard to tell as one group early on were facing towards the vehicles, and down a short way, another group were turned the other way. They could have been ordered to keep watch in that direction. I’d love it to be true, but will we ever know for sure?
The monument in the background is the Taft Memorial & Carillon on Constitution Ave. There is something hinky about the video. The shadows are odd from beginning to end of the clip. Some shadows are short, while others are very long.
No. They were faced in various directions. Many would be looking outward from the route to see any external threats.
This isn’t rocket science.
I hope so. They’re minding their own business, and then they’re suddenly called to duty on the orders of some still-unknown higher up, with the assent of their idiot neo-statist governors, to go down to DC to put on a show over a nothing burger.
I hope some of them sent Xiden some single-digit salutes, too!
I don’t see any possibly threats other than the biden
team...
hope that is archived
Our troops are being used like toy soldiers. Subject to litmus tests and displays of party loyalty.
With the optics of untold editorials to come rewriting history to reflect that they were somehow needed to ensure the safety of a vp of color - a play on Alabama even if the vp is a privileged caste Indian-Jamacian and not of African American heritage. The Left loves to appropriate culture when it suits them. Same as they’re now all religious zealots and in love with Lincoln again. Watch and see.
In the meantime, antifa is tearing up Seattle and Portland, again, (they don’t like biden, either) and don’t even try to mention sending in troops there, not even for a day.
I don’t know. But my friend and I were out and witnessed a helicopter, today. Yes...it was black...hovering over the TN River...and the main vein of traffic through the area.
The guardsmen by having their backs to the president means that they were ordered to look toward the crowd and to expect something to happen by it, rather than to expect the crowd to be peaceful and face toward the president.
No. This is silly.
They instruct other security personnel along the route to look outward where threats may be found. This is true for the police when there is a motorcade in any city in America.
They are just ‘looking for snipers’
They are just ‘looking for snipers’
I would normally say they need to look away from the motorcade to be alert for threats. However there were differences in how groups of NG faced. Some groups looked away and some looked at the car.
Could be nothing but differences in how they were ordered to face ... or perhaps red state NG were ones looking away.
Probably much ado about nothing.
Yes the national guard were making sure no squirrels from the mall attacked the old coot.
Hard to infer much from the video alone. First unit appears to be a platoon sized elements, standing at attention. Second unit closer to company sized, uniformly facind the other direction, then what appears to be a socially distanced gaggle of folks kind of facing the motorcade in general. My guess is the LT in charge of the first unit was high strung and put everyone at attention whenever a car drove by, the captain in charge of the second unit was giving an update on what he knew about the day’s schedule, and the third group hasn’t seen their LT in two days.
Most units did and some did not. And in that short vid, the vast majority did.
Glory be to God most high. There is hope and faith.
