Bowser, who wants all non-D.C. troops out of the city, blamed the National Guard relocation on a budget issue and said the city will not pay for the accommodations — amid days of protests over racial injustice, some of which have been violent.

Let them camp on the White House lawn.

It sounds like they might be needed there this weekend.

Isn’t she violating a private contract between the NG and the hotel?

If I got kicked out of a hotel after showing up and occupying the room because I was white, black, Democrat, or Republican, I’m sure I’d have a valid lawsuit.

Yep, all that extra hotel revenue and the ensuing city tax income has gotta be hell on those communist accountants.

If these cretins are gonna lie, they really oughta practice a bit beforehand.

I can just see Trump suiting up with the NG...and reading the riot act from the WH steps before unleashing the dogs of war.

If they’re making the city pay the rent then yes they mayor would have the power to say “no we’re not”. Kind of odd to make the city pay for it. At least up front.

The Guard Units were kicked out of a hotel by the D.C. mayor.A private hotel.How is that possible?

Is that dope paying for the Guardsman?I don.’this think D.C. is large enough for its own guard unit.
