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.”

It’s the military. They follow orders. You should show more respect.
At least they had heat in the cafeteria.
“What an idiotic statement.”
It was sarcasm! Guess you didn’t read about the cheating in Georgia. When military votes were counted, 100% voted for Biden.
They should have followed their oath of enlistment and rounded up every last rat bastard involved in stealing this election. Now look where we are.
Each person enlisting in the National Guard shall sign an enlistment contract and subscribe to the following oath:
“I do hereby acknowledge to have voluntarily enlisted this __ day of ____, 19_, in the ______ National Guard of the State of ______ for a period of __ year(s) under the conditions prescribed by law, unless sooner discharged by proper authority.
“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”
LOL! OH God that would have been the ultimate middle finger to the Rat/RINOs!! Damn, why didn’t he do that!!!
I think that was a sarcastic shot at the corruption, not that the poster thought they all did vote for Biden.
No. You are. I guess understanding sarcasm is haarrd for some people.
Nobody has any sympathy for nation guardsmen that agreed to set up camp as some Praetorian Guard for the old pedophile.
Well bless your heart. Based on the replies to this idiotic post, you'd think someone who's been on FreeRepublic for a while knows that a SARC tag helps avoid blowback.
Hope the Texas contingent has already returned to Texas....
I have contacted the Gov and demanded he get our troops back in Texas and immediately deploy the NG and/or the TNG on the border with emphasis on the southern border and secondary locations on The Red , the Sabine and along the liberal enterprises to our west.
I have also asked him and the AG to support the #TEXIT initiative and the Kyle Biederman bill that will be filed Tuesday. I plead with all Texans to call their State representative and Senator and ask them directly is they support the bill, YES OR DO. Get them on the record upfront.
To all Texans let your voice be heard further by joining the movement at TNM.ME and sign the pledges that you will support the initiative. Go to the faq page if you like before becoming a member. There are close to 200 (may be more) answers to questions that you may have
There is no better time to become a free republic based nation once again. This failed experiment should NOT be funded with our tax dollars another minute. Time to fish or cut bait
They shoulds out up signs calling that garage “Ft Andersonville”.
BTW you POS (see My Tagline) turds said that if you took office that WE THE PEOPLE WOULD BE GETTING the rest of Our $2000.00 chicom plague Money SO WHERE IS IT ?!?!?! HEY nazi pelouzy and upchucky scammer WHERE IS IT ?!?!?!?!
Shameful treatment of our troops by the Biden voters, is this another Biden failed attempt at unity, disrespecting our military.
Saved.
I was a real warrior, whoever you are. And it’s “National” Guard, and they were following orders.
As for personal attacks, don’t like it, pull a Twitter and ban me. After of course you pull yourself
That is a great idea.
No, rather they, both House and Senate are trying to put on appearances.
That guy is a douche. F him
