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.

When Democrats screw up we all get blamed. The drive-bys spent the last two days putting the blame collectively on the entire Congress.
Arrested — even better!
Good article and absolutely appalling. I agree with you that the ONLY reason they brought 25,000 troops to DC was to prevent a 500,000 person MAGA rally from happening when the installation took place.
It’s predictable and appalling that the Dems who hate the military (except to steal their absentee ballots) and hate the police are falling all over themselves to condemn our troops sleeping in parking garages.

Larry is over.
I hope he understand that.
The Biden Crime Family.
Where’s the bag man?
He’ll do worse than O’Malley in his Presidential run.
I’ve had exactly three votes five votes in my life I was exceptionally proud to cast, Reagan, Trump twice and my city Mayor twice.
I deeply regret having stupidly voted for Hogan the second time.
Ha! It looks like the carnival is in town. They all look like their clothes fell on them from the 10th story.
>>Dems never cared about saving face. Prime example: Bill Clinton.<<
Latest example: the vp whore.
At least three, Montana, New Hampshire and Florida
And they say there’s no good freak shows anymore.
:D
Probably the guy on the far left [redundant, I know] with the trousers that are baggy from being WAY too long.
We all regret that.
On the upside, Fats completely ignores us out here in The Wastelands.
Haven’t seen him once since he came ‘round begging for our hillbilly support.

One thing known for certain: Those cookies were not baked by Dr. Jill. Shades of Bill’s Hill when he was running for prez, ‘Illary made a big show of baking cookies, sharing her recipes; a true ‘Suzy Homemaker’ (just like us).
But lighten up-----some states are fighting back.....a little......
Republican governors led by Florida's Ron DeSantis, ordered Fla’s N/G troops to return home, stating:
“The Ntl Guard are soldiers, not Nancy Pelosi’s servants.”
Texas Gov Abbott followed suit.
The very worst ——the cringeiest moment——occurred when “Dr” Jill arrived w/ a basket of cookies.
She looked like a simpleton carrying that basket to armed N/G troops.
As if a cookie could make amends for the third class treatment the N/G received from the Swamp.
Looked nothing, she is a simpleton
Kind of like Stalin replacing his Generals before the Nazi invasion. We know how well that went. Stalin chose his Generals based on their political loyalty rather than their organizational skill. Of course, Biden Administration is continuing what Obama did. Trump never had a chance to put his Loyalists in charge. Pompeo was excellent but that’s just one guy and he’s gone now.
