MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Tony Evers has authorized the Wisconsin National Guard to support the state’s Capitol Police.
National Guard members will mobilize to help with security efforts at the Wisconsin State Capitol, according to a news release Monday.
The announcement comes hours after the FBI warned of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and in Washington, D.C. ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Less than a week has passed since a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.
Crews in Madison have boarded up windows at the State Capitol building as a “proactive precautionary measure.”
“Once again, our state has asked our Citizen Soldiers in the Wisconsin National Guard to answer the call to keep our state, its citizens, and its institutions safe,” said Maj. Gen. Paul Knapp, Wisconsin’s adjutant general. “We ask a lot of our troops who must take leave from their civilian employers and their families, and I’m proud of the sacrifices they make on a daily basis to serve their fellow citizens.”
The troops are part of the state’s National Guard Reaction Force, which is made up of members who are trained to respond to requests on short notice.
Officials said the Guard will have a support role to local authorities and conduct a site security mission.
If not, nice WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS, Governor!
Don’t want them L.A. Rams causing damage!
Didn’t send them as Kenosha burned.
Oh my i feel so much safer now,..im sure they’ll finally clamp down on the blm and Antifa
What are they afraid of, I can’t imagine?
Dem commies are despicable. Keep inventing crisis/riots with paid actors that will pose as Trump supporters.
More of the same from ANTIFA commie agitators that will stage another Democrat backed ‘Reichstag Fire’ in order to manufacture a propaganda narrative for the MSM so they can push another fake ‘armed insurrection’ that will be used to justify gun confiscation. Communist Revolution 101... Confiscate guns.
Wtf cheeseheds?
If things continue as is, I expect in the not to distant for the left to turn against Antifa. Like all useful idiots, they will no longer be needed.
Yeah, I know our Governor sucks. And what's even more infuriating, he's not an overt totalitarian like Cuomo or Whitmer. He's the Mr. Rogers type who'll crack jokes while destroying you.
I meant too distant in my last post :-)
Yup..they’ll buy them off w entitlements likey did w the blacks
Could it be that this board up is part 2 continuance of the pre election board up.
Did the bards ever come down.
Please recall that the boards were for insurrection anticipated when joe elect lost.
Like a fox on the run, the stealers are doubling back.
50 Reichstag fires!
When Antifa/BLM burn and loot, the Guard are there unarmed in some cases. When patriots protest the stealing of the election by the government, the Guard will be fully armed.

Like DeWine in Ohio
What makes our Governor worse is that he’s basically a mannequin. I mean, he’s the least productive and unassuming Governor probably in American history. Milwaukee and Chicago should just screw already and become it’s own state.
I spent some yrs in the National Guard. This seems a bit confusing. If the NG is activated, and operates in another state or territory, doesn’t it need to be under Federal Orders?
“What are they afraid of, I can’t imagine?”
Evers has been hiding under his desk since the first problems which started in August.
It was BLM and Antifa - but the Socialist Democrats in this town cannot bring themselves to even WHISPER their names.
Also - The Capitol has been LOCKED DOWN since August - We The People have NOT been allowed inside!
Also - SEVENTY FIVE businesses are GONE from State Street and around our Capitol Square. No mention of THAT in the Daily News. *SPIT*
Also - NO Christmas Trees this season. The GOPe put up TWO trees - the Governor had them hauled away each time. There was no Christmas Tree in our Rotunda, as usual. People come from all over the STATE to see that tree! Tradition!
Tell me again that I’m NOT living in a Police State?
The Socialist Democrats have caused ALL the damage since their TANTRUMS when Scott Walker was elected. Reaping what they have sewn. Bigly!
