What Caused Texas Governor Greg Abbott to Threaten to Never Deploy National Guard Units to DC Again
Townhall ^ | 01/19/2021 | Matt Vespa

Well, it didn’t take long for the liberal media to bash their next target: the military. Liberal America hates the military. It represents everything they hate about America. Our military is filled with our nation’s finest who are willing to die protecting what we often take for granted. It’s that vanguard aspect that liberals hate, so they must attack the military. They were just waiting for the right moment to do so again. The January 6 Capitol Hill riot has provided that opportunity.

Look, you don’t have to be a national security expert to see that what happened that day wasn’t like the 9/11 terror attacks. It’s not even close. Still, it prompted nearly 30,000 troops to be stationed in the capital to provide security. Metro stations have been closed. It’s a mess in DC. And yet, the media is still going on about phantom threats from within. Now, the people who were sent to provide security are being smeared as covert operatives ready to launch an attack come Inauguration Day. There is no evidence of such activity, though the Defense Department said they are vetting guardsmen. What exactly does that mean? We don’t know. The pentagon also added that they have no intelligence of any “insider threat,” but are doing this with a ‘leave no stone unturned’ mindset.

The liberal media went after Trump with zero evidence of Russian collusion and created a monster of misinformation. This whacko ‘Seven Days in May’ narrative they’re cooking up is no different. And who best to quarterback this effort than CNN, where host Chris Cuomo bashed the troops, said we should be suspicious of our military, and said it’s all justified because of the Iraq war or something:

Moments later, Fredo proclaimed "we must be suspicious" of our National Guard troops stationed in DC "to ensure that none will turn on their country and pose an insider threat. We used to have to do that in Iraq, by the way."
Bashing the troops. This is CNN. pic.twitter.com/alA3RNjLU4— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 19, 2021

That’s insane, fellas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized the deployment of 1,000 National Guard units to the city but was appalled by the pervasive character assassination campaign that’s unfolding in the media against our troops.

This is the most offensive thing I've ever heard.

No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard. @TexasGuard

I authorized more than 1,000 to go to DC.

I'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this.https://t.co/STZDMz7PGm— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 19, 2021

“This is the most offensive thing I've ever heard. No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard,” he said in a tweet. 

“I'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this,” the governor added.

No arguments here, sir.

Here's what was said on this anti-GOP network earlier yesterday:

*Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties* just stating w/out a tiny shred of evidence that our guardsmen cld be a threat to us since some of them presumably voting for the Republican ticket.— Rebeccah Heinrichs (@RLHeinrichs) January 18, 2021

Bravo Governor Abbot! This is the kind of push back we need rather than the deer in the headlights response from so many who are supposed to be on our side.

They did the same with the PA National Guard in the 1960's in Pittsburgh's Hill district.

The larger question going forward is...why would the NG of any State that didn’t participate in the Steal actually take orders from The Thief?

The Guard swears allegence to the Constitution. Thier oath is to defend it against Ll enemies foreign and domestic.This is our last hope that they keep that vow!

“I, ________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ____________ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of __________

Trump is still President for 24 hours!

Then call them home right now you gutless wonder. Empty threats mean nothing.

On Bannon’s War Room, they announced that two NGmen were dismissed after delving into their “connections”. Now what for these men? So all these troops are going to have anal probes because of this dark curtain overtaking our land and Constituion?

Bravo? He said if you insult their integrity again, he won’t send more next time. He needs to grow a backbone and jerk them out immediately. And then he needs to explain why he sent them in the first place. It reflects very poorly on his judgement (yet again)

They’re going to be needed in Texas to prevent a deep-state “color revolution” of government there

You are 100% correct. I was just excited to anyone on our side do any kind of push back.

Yeah. I heard that. Terrible. They’re marked for the rest of their military life — and the rest of their lives, too, I expect.
