The Utah National Guard confirmed Friday that 200 service members are being kicked out of hotels in the nation's capital as D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser clashes with President Trump over the handling of the George Floyd protests in the city.
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.
"Last night, we were informed that our service members would be relocated from their hotel rooms," the Utah National Guard said in a statement Friday.

So a paperwork snafu leaves DC under protected? Just straighten out the paperwork and pay the bill. Problem solved.

Nope. They got moved to another hotel. The whole “kicked out of DC” thing is pure clickbait headline hyperbole.

I really am behind the times if a National Guard unit needs hotel rooms. Does the Army can own tents anymore?...".... Urban environment .... Not many places to pitch massive amounts of tents ....

“Really? The world has gone mad.”
Some parts, yes. I believe that Mayor Bowser has designated 16th street in front of the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza” and has already installed street signs to that effect. (Who knew DC Municipal Government could be so fast). In addition, she’s had “Black Lives Matter” painted in large yellow letters on the street.

Better to have them outdoors anyway. The longer grunts are outside, the more angry they become.

Thanks for the info.
Good to know the DC mayor is a racist pig.
