Breitbart<\/a> is reporting today that National Guard troops were forced to evacuate the Capitol building grounds on Thursday and hang out in parking garages, allegedly after a Democrat congressman complained about one National Guard member not wearing a mask at a cafe in the building.<\/p>\n

That is obscene.<\/p>\n

The article includes a photo of the situation (which supposedly has been corrected by now):<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) tweeted late Thursday night that he has ordered the return of the Texas National Guard to the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have seen reports that President Trump offered his hotels as a place for the National Guard to stay if they needed it, but I can’t verify that.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

In advance of the inauguration, thousands of forces were seen resting inside the Capitol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some members of Congress, including Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) \u2014 himself a member of the National Guard \u2014 treated them to pizza. Others, such as Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), gave them tours of the Capitol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, a day after the inauguration, they are being relegated to parking garages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Politico<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a> that the number of National Guard members forced to evacuate the Capitol was in the \u201cthousands,\u201d with\u00a0one unit of 5,000 troops forced to rest in a parking garage without internet reception and just one electrical outlet and one bathroom with two stalls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed,\u201d one Guardsman told Politico<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Separately, the National Guard announced Thursday in a press release that 15,000 National Guardsmen are being sent back home, from the m0re than 26,000 sent to D.C. for the inauguration. The remaining 10,600 are still on duty, with that number to eventually go down to about 7,000 near the end of the month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t think this is what most Americans voted for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
