Tucker Carlson: Democrats Sending Clear Message With Troops Swarming DC, "We Control The Pentagon"
RCP ^ | January 20, 2021 | Tim Hains

TUCKER CARLSON: Our capital city is currently under military occupation. By Inauguration Day, there are expected to be more than 26,000 armed federal troops in Washington. No living American has seen a moment like the one we're watching now.

For comparison, Lyndon Johnson sent a total of 13,600 federal troops and D.C. Army National Guardsmen to quell the race riots in Washington that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Those riots injured hundreds of people and killed at least 13. In 1864, as the Civil War raged on the other side of the Potomac and Americans died every day in large numbers on the battlefield, there were fewer federal troops protecting Washington, D.C., than there are right now.

Why are we reading about Tucker or anyone else from Fox News? They sold their soul to the left. No amount of pandering should bring back conservatives.

There's no doubt more where he came from:

“ Why are we reading about Tucker or anyone else from Fox News?“

And to your point, Tucker is utterly clueless on this. Uninformed.

Wow. Biden took away bullets from the troops.

As he was driving by them, they turned their backs on him.

This video is being shown in many places . It does not say where the car taking video is in relation to where the faux president is. The troops may have stood at respectful attention as the election thief rode by.

Not only do they “run” the Pentagon and it’s officials,
it is busy destroying Posse Comitatus.

He plans on using active troops on our soil all the time.

That’s my take, totally accurate or not.

The National Guard is State controlled if not federalized and I don’t believe that happened.

Sorry, not accurate. They face all different directions on purpose. I asked a military vet, 36 yrs of service.

Anything coming out of Fox news is suspect.

I believe the Trees took control of National Guard years ago. The idea of independent state armies that might contest fedgov wasn’t going to be allowed.

“Instead, unmistakably, the Democratic Party is using those troops to send the rest of us a message about power: “We’re in charge now. We run this nation, from Honolulu to our colony in the Caribbean and everywhere in between, very much including where you and your family live. Do not question us men with guns. We control the Pentagon.” And indeed, they do.”

Tucker is right.

Well that’s silly. Those guard troops report to the President. They were deployed under Trump.

Didn’t Eisenhower send NG troops to force school integration ? States rights ended in 1865.
The original constitutional government ended in 1861. It’s successor centralized power.
And power corrupts.
Would the Framers have dreamed their descendants lives would be minutely regulated as we have been even a decade ago?
Congress and professional bureaucracy have long ignored the Constitution with impunity.
