Bowser urges people to avoid DC as National Guard plans to have up to 15,000 troops in city

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."

Judging by Biden’s campaign rallies, it’s not like he was going to have many supporters show up for inauguration either.

Exactly, a fraudulent virtual inauguration for the corrupt guy who stated that he didn’t need any votes to win, and that Democrats had the greatest voter fraud network ever. No reason for anyone go there so that BLM and Antifa can create excuses to murder them, or frame them like just happened. Let the imbecile mayor keep her Crime City locked down and under guard forever. Marion Barry...

Believe me, I’ll never set foot in that city again. I was able to get a White House tour in January of 2018. We had lunch at the Trump Hotel. It was a beautiful but extremely cold day...(which kept away a lot of the riffraff.)

you will know what is bs and what is not.. in a day or 2.

They don’t bring in bus loads of military ... fence around the capitol... for a party.

those inside the capitol are racing to get Trump gone before he acts... they know they have been in the dirt with past president and v president.... the world knows...but citizens of the United States do not know because we live such a comfortable life, it just isn’t possible.

But the other side of the aisle and some republicans.... are not nice and do not want you to have a life of comfort...

Hell is getting ready to open ... the coup is no longer quiet ...

I guess when obviously as time goes on none of this has occurred, the spin will be that it all was happening and the opposing parties struck a deal to avoid being jailed and that’s why Trump backed off.

I agree with you. The Left has been agitating and provoking all of 2020 just hoping to start something, that loose cannons will take the bait. They never learn. Remember the white cheerleader who beat down the bully who punched her? The white cheerleader never even put her phone down, and she won. <<<This is what I believe about Patriots.

So let me get this straight.President elect Biden has accepted 100’s of millions of dollars in bribes from hostile foreign powers and laundered the bribes through his family members including his son Hunter.Vice President Biden took his son on a state visit to China.While Biden was meeting with Chinese leaders his son was accepting 1.5 Billion dollars from the Chinese Government.Hunter Biden then took the bribe money and used it to purchase dual use technology companies that China was prohibited from buying.How is this not treasonous actually ?Why isn’t the FBI all over this?Now we are being told that 10 thousand troops are guarding this traitor and President Trumps supporters are are the new threat to our country.So now we have the US military propping up a corrupt government, not overseas but right here in the nations capital.It’s getting real.

That’s what I said! Another Save America rally should happen at 10AM on Jan 20 at the Washington monument. President Trump should speak. All republican congresspeople should be invited. Maybe Pelosi and Schumer would be kind enough to address the crowd to offer an opposing viewpoint?

“Why isn’t the FBI all over this”

Because they are the Democrat Party FBI.
