Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and have been photographed having to sleep in parking garages while temperatures in the nation’s capital were set to dip down to near-freezing temperatures.
The photos of the living conditions that the National Guardsmen were forced to endure come after Democrats took complete control of the federal government this week following Joe Biden being sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service,” a National Guardsmen told Politico. “Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed.”
“All National Guard troops were told to vacate the Capitol and nearby congressional buildings on Thursday, and to set up mobile command centers outside or in nearby hotels, another Guardsman confirmed,” Politico reported. “They were told to take their rest breaks during their 12-hour shifts outside and in parking garages, the person said.”
“Speaker Pelosi personally met with the Secretary of the Army to demand 14,000 National Guard troops be deployed to the Capitol,” a source familiar with the security discussions at the Capitol told The Daily Wire in a statement. “But there was no logistical plan provided by the Speaker’s office on where the service members would sleep.”

MILITARY SOURCE IN DC: “For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage. 5000 soldiers. 1 power outlet. One bathroom. This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

They are instituting the police state junta.
They were used by the dems for “optics”. Once Dementia Joe was sworn in they were discarded like a soiled diaper. The dems no longer needed them.
Is anybody surprised?
Will any news network report it?
Update!
After many complaints after seeing the photos go viral, they’ve been moved back to the Capitol building.
Scratch that second part.
President Trump should offer to put up the National Guardsmen at a Trump hotel.
It’s winter. The parking garage didn’t have heat. Democrats are such horrible people. These men came to DC when there was NO THREAT... they were props in a drama queens hysteria...
Liberals Are Communist Scum!
All this because of a handful of leftist hooligans who the Capitol police allowed inside.
Once Dementia Joe was sworn in they were discarded like a used face mask.
BETTER.

I have instructed General Norris to order the return of the Texas National Guard to our state. @TexasGuard

New Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn took a bunch of take-out pizza to the guys in the parking garage.

100%
Democrats have historically, for decades, done everything they can to suppress and disenfranchise the absentee ballots of our military. They did it in Georgia in 2020. Because they did it there, they did it in other cities across the country too.
Will “fly-over” moms and dads continue to send their children to fight in color revolutions and mop-up operations abroad (and at home), especially when the Democrats and deep-state elitists in DC pulling the strings hate them so much?
I wouldn’t
What did they expect when they were being used as props.
SMH
Get used to it, troops. Maybe you shouldn’t have all voted 100% for Biden in Georgia...
