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.

Whoa! That's disgusting!
Oh Wait. You probably mean he represents them in the legal arena.
Fox New: Pelosi and Schumer put our guards people at risk besides storing them in an unheated parking lot to sleep and rest.
More than 100 National Guard members stationed at the Capitol have tested positive for COVID-19, defense officials said Friday.
Pictures and reports of guard members working in close proximity to each other raised concerns about a potential outbreak.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., told Fox News that his office is investigating what kind of coronavirus precautions Guardsmen took while deploying in Washington, D.C.
National Guard members from Florida did not take COVID-19 tests prior to deploying, but did perform screenings and were offered the Moderna vaccine before traveling, a spokesman for the state’s Department of Military Affairs told Fox News. The servicemembers have been wearing masks and conducting daily screenings, and no members from Florida have tested positive.
Now, this good news.
Iowa, Florida and Texas governors are bringing their guards people home.
Any Rat governor or GOPE governor not calling their guard people back home from DC, now, should be recalled as governors by the good people of their state.
What is your state doing if your guardsmen are in DC?
Dems need to “scramble” to align with GOP and impeach Pelosi NOW. It’s believed that she ordered this. They need to strike while the iron is hot, now that her name is Mudd at this very moment.
IMPEACH PELOSI!!
Doesn't one have to have something before one can scramble to save it? Democrats have never had any shame in their game.
No problem, if the Rats Courts Martial enough of 'em, the Mainstream Media will make this go away just like the Big Steal.
The greatest insult to the NATIONAL GUARD was the vetting done prior to the inauguration. These patriots took a vow to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
To question that is inexcusable.
The DC elites and oligarchs despise “fly-over America” - but they still expect your sons and daughters to serve and die in their wars, color-revolutions, and political schemes
That general needs to be busted. If I were a governor and even one of those forced to sleep in a Garage was from my state they would be on a plane home the next day. They should have been put up in hotels, God knows the hotels were empty.
Some hard truth there...

Cookies... that’ll do it. With a legion of several dozen photographers. And don’t forget to call her Doctor dammit.
Pelosi doesn’t have the power under th constitution to do this. If governors agreed to her request, she should be arrested Nader the insurrection and sedition acts.
Nader = Under.
The General is from Maryland. The RINO Governor of Maryland stupidly voted for a dead guy, Ronald Reagan. He’s an idiot with his lips permanently attached to the Democrat backsides.
The moron will probably figure out a way to get her another star.
This is a tell. The Demorats know that the rank and file of the military in this country are not their friends. What's really great about this is that they understand that if push comes to shove, they are screwed.
Uh, democrats(commies actually) and saving face don’t go together in the same sentence. If one wanted to “save face” one would have to have a conscience. They DO NOT! They are simply AAs Anti-Americans.
