Ted Lieu Drops Bomb About Why National Guard Is Still in DC
The Western Journal ^ | Kipp Jones February 13, 2021 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 02/13/2021 9:48:21 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

I think the troops are still there because OBiden is about to come out with some draconian gun regulations.. He knows, well maybe not him but those who are running the show, that it’s NOT going to be well received by the American people... :(

Reality check.

Biden bragged about creating a large voter fraud organization

The election’s results dramatically changed after election day under mysterious results.

Politicians/media/tech will try to destroy you if you talk about it.

Insanity.

Joe wants to sniff President Trump’s hair—then the troops will leave...

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.

If accurate, that says it all.

The Democratic candidate for the Governor of Georgia never conceded. She thought she won and has the right to think so whether she is correct or not.

I tend to agree, maybe not on the content of the regulations / orders / legislation but that they will be putting something out that they know damn will will enrage Americans. They certainly don't think Trump's supporters are going to riot, that was BS to begin with and permanent martial law in DC in reponse would be absurd. It's about what the next shoe to drop is.

It could be that they actually manage to get the GOP to support convicting Trump (we all know they want to). But I don't think so. It could be that they turn SCOTUS into a puppet court. It could be that they issues some sort of blitz of speech restrictions, gun restrictions, and 4th amendment restrictions that basically eliminate the constitution, coupled with the move to pack the court and hence signaling the end of the USA.

But it's not because they think meanie conservatives are a real threat over the past month.

What petty dweebs the Dems be.

Low lifes that will soon occupy prisons of their own makings, histories of their own attempts to re-write history will be commonplace (NOT!!).

Sanity will prevail as the demonic forces that ensnare this nation are revealed once and for all.

They should impeach Trump every week of the day and twice on Sundays to show what zealots they are for ‘the cause’,, fighting global varming.. while their own house burns to the ground from self-induced mayhem.

The Democrat Party is the party of lawyers.

Everything must be run through lawyers.

Lawyers do not exist to represent clients, they exist to make sure the Democrat Party rules.

It still amazes me that his remarks on that - just weeks before the selection - received absolutely no follow up at all - FROM ANYBODY.

“Mr. Biden, can you please elaborate your statement regarding a large election fraud organization? What did you mean by that? Who’s running it? Who’s funding it?”

It would have been that simple.

Very true. Although, the statement stands on its own pretty well, IMHO.

I’m not sure if Ted Lieu understands why his statement about the troops is right but its right. Thats exactly why the troops are occupying DC. Because Trump has not conceded and intends to remain President.

The Big Steal was BIPARTISAN!

Both parties wanted an end to Make America Great Again.

That was pretty much confirmed by the recent Time magazine article where they were indeed bragging about a coordinated effort by the elites to destroy Trump.

These are facts:

1) Democrats stole the election,
2) Ted Lieu was Ed Bucks consort.
3) Adam Schiff was also Ed Buck’s consort.
4) Lincoln Project members have a homosexual pedophilia problem.

Like "has the cat got your tongue?", Joek's bung has the Media's tongues.

That's why they couldn't axe him about his vote fraud organization.

“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.”

troops are still treating Washington, D.C., as an occupied military zone because Nazi Pelosi, Joe Birdbrain and Chuck Tumor are using lame reasoning to prepare Citizens for a military takeover of this Republic.

Thre, fixed it
