Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California appeared to let the cat out of the bag on Thursday with regard to why the National Guard is still in the country’s capital in large numbers more than three weeks after President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
In remarks during Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, Lieu appeared to imply that troops are still treating Washington, D.C., as an occupied military zone because the former president will not bend the knee and disavow his stance that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
To put it more simply, Lieu appeared to state that if Trump were to simply concede the election, all of those troops would go back to where they came from. Back to warm beds and away from freezing parking garages.
“[Trump] needed to unequivocally condemn the [Capitol] attack, but he also needed to mean those words,” said Lieu in front of the Senate.
“You saw Donald Trump tweet endless attacks, sometimes 108 tweets in a day, and in public speeches and across rallies, repeating words of ‘fight’ and ‘stop the steal’ and ‘never surrender.’”
The Democrat then played up what he said was Trump’s ability to reach people.
Perhaps if Lieu possessed the ability to inspire others, he wouldn’t be relegated to being one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s errand boys. In any event, that’s essentially what Lieu is — and he is working double-time to please the madame.
“You know what it looks like when President Trump wants to convey a message. Forcefully, loudly and repeatedly, he does that,” he said, in reference to a clip of Trump’s Jan. 6 address to his supporters in Washington.

If Trump utters the words “the election was not stolen” all will be well.
The ‘Rats & GOPee have yet to Seal the Steal.
He's exactly right, albeit thru 'Rat glasses.
The Big Steal was BIPARTISAN!
Both parties wanted an end to Make America Great Again.
They have spent their careers turning it into North Mexico.
Oh. I see. Orange Man Bad. AKA Trump’s Fault.
Funny, though.
The DC troops (6000? 10,000?) are still there after 3 1/2 weeks, under the command of the DOD and Milley, and not Bitem or his crony Austin.
Maybe the CONgress critter should have talked tot he look that put out the TIME article about how th e election was stolen
Bad enuf they lie about it - but then to have a magazine run a piece that rubs everyone’s nose in the theft....

President (twice elected) Trump needs to kiss Joe Demented Biden’s ring?
What they’re afraid of is that since Trump never conceded, if the election was found to be stolen, then he would be in the presidents office and they’re trying to cut that route out. I suspect certain Democrats Republicans and members of the deep state would be facing retribution if he went in and cleaned house.
Good to see that mean tweets constitute insurrection. Thomas Paine’s ghost is laughing.
Holding the NG hostage in order to make Trump agree to a false confession.
Lieu is an extreme POS.
They want Trump to join the sheep. Trump still remains a Lion.
I think they’re worried about this spring and summer. Maybe they should be.
Whoa: Nearly a Third of Democrats Believe the Election Was Stolen From Trump
Discussion here:
Dear Mr. President, Please Pardon Everyone!
The process is done....regardless of the election stolen or not.......
Biden is now President.....
I hate it but that’s the way it is.....
Or in other words, Biden and his puppet masters know the election was rigged.
