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.
According to a source, Rep. Will Keating (D-MA) reported to the Capitol building authorities earlier in the day that a National Guardsman was seen in a Dunkin Donuts without a mask on.
After Keating commented out loud that masks were required to be worn at all times in a federal building, the National Guard member responded, “I appreciate my freedom,” according to the source.
National Guard commanders are now looking for the National Guard member, according to the source.
“Beautiful.”

Just 2 days ago the Democrats were giddy over our brave national guard. Photo Op over and now they’re abandoned. According to new reports, the Guard has served its purpose: the presidency changed hands, no Trump loyalists stormed the ceremony, and everyone can move on now. Especially the Guard, because though it was cool having them sleep inside the Capitol to guard it a few days ago, but you know what? They’ve kind of overstayed their welcome.
I just visited the solders who have been abandoned & insulted by our leaders. I brought them pizza and told them that they can sleep in my office.

“Yesterday 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 …” one Guardsman said https://t.co/2QneUNtBDe pic.twitter.com/Q8lZzP7hHV

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.”PHOTOS pic.twitter.com/622sQmciq4

WOW. FROM SOURCE:
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressman 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.”

Two nights ago, my wife and I prepared chili for over 100 National Guard and Capitol Police. Tonight our troops have been relegated to the gutter of The People’s House… I am sickened. https://t.co/xuLEgD7jOi

They got the photos and videos they needed. The show of force was complete. They no longer had a need for them.

Don’t worry, Biden will have you deployed to the Middle East soon, it’s warm there all the time.

And why are these fine men and women still in DC? Hasn’t the moment for optics passed? @POTUS you can do better than this for the men and women who were called to protect you.

It would appear we treat our troops better when they’re deployed overseas than we do having them in our own backyard.

Politico reports:
Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and are now taking their rest breaks outside and in nearby parking garages, after two weeks of sleepless nights protecting the nation’s capital in the wake of the violent Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5,000 troops, the person said.
This is typical mid-level officer action (O-4 and up), a.k.a. the military version of middle management, doing what poorly trained middle managers do: leave everyone hanging.
