Washington (CNN) — Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.

Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation's capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power.

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Bowser, a Democrat, stressed that she was concerned about more violent actors potentially coming to the city in the run-up to the inauguration, saying, "if I'm scared of anything, it's for our democracy, because we have very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous."

Come Jan 20th I hope Biden is giving a speech to an empty field. Nobody will be listening anyway.

You won't be able to tell from the news. They'll zoom in as much as necessary to claim a huge and enthusiastic crowd.

“We will lose because we can’t plan.”

But that’s been the story of America from the beginning. We always get caught with our pants down because we’ve always been a Christian nation who trusts to a fault. But we’ve always been able able to respond in force with a tremendous resolve. And that won’t change. Now the time for all good men to to come to the aid and call of God and their country.

> They will all be compelled to go to the Inauguration—for the cameras. Then the only crowd shots will be aerial from a mile up, so pixilated you won’t be able to see their uniforms

No need, they can order them to attend in civilian clothing.

My brain immediately went to this guy and I wondered why he was warning people to stay away from D.C.

This article is a complete joke. It wasn’t a “deadly domestic terror attack” last week. It was a big blunder by the Capitol Police, who opened the doors to the capitol building and let the demonstrators walk right in. Nobody was killed by demonstrators. If anyone died in the demonstration, it was probably someone who had a pre-existing condition and died from a heart attack or stroke caused by stress. This is such a massive overreaction from the left-wing media.

Rioters destroyed large sections of Minneapolis last summer, and liberal media doesn’t called that a domestic terror attack. Look at the pictures of Minneapolis—the amount of destruction is incredible. It looks like a war zone now. So here we go again as CNN writes more wildly distorted articles and loses more credibility (as their credibility drops below zero into negative territory!).

When the country is taken over by the enemy and all channels shut down.... we have to communicate another way.

if you think you are living in a safe world...and safe America... wake up!

My inclination is to do just the opposite of what this witch says.

It's for DC to be flooded with protesters and let the Democrats know we're not accepting the new cheater-in-chief or allowing our free speech to be taken away.

Exactly. What is an inauguration without some goose-stepping soldiers. They need to parade some tanks and nuclear missiles as well. Can’t let Kim Jong upstage Biden now.
