National Guard forced to evacuate Capitol grounds after alleged mask complaint by Democrat congressman

National Guard deployed in Washington, DC for Biden's inauguration.

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.

Breitbart News reviewed communications by National Guard officials regarding the situation with Keating.

Keating had just thanked members of the National Guard on Wednesday:

Breitbart News reached out to Keating's press secretary but did not receive a response.

Another source told Breitbart News that the situation is "being worked to fix it."

Pictures of the conditions National Guardsmen were subjected to emerged on social media earlier on Thursday:

Other members of Congress — Republicans and Democrats alike — have expressed outrage about the treatment of the National Guard and are demanding answers on what happened.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) tweeted that he brought pizza to the abandoned National Guard members and offered his office for them to sleep in. The tweet also included a video.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) tweeted late Thursday night that he has ordered the return of the Texas National Guard to the state.

More than 26,000 National Guard forces were deployed to Washington, DC, to assist federal law enforcement authorities protect the inauguration of Joe Biden as president.

In advance of the inauguration, thousands of forces were seen resting inside the Capitol.

Some members of Congress, including Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) — himself a member of the National Guard — treated them to pizza. Others, such as Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), gave them tours of the Capitol.

Now, a day after the inauguration, they are being relegated to parking garages.

Politico reported that the number of National Guard members forced to evacuate the Capitol was in the "thousands," with one unit of 5,000 troops forced to rest in a parking garage without internet reception and with just one electrical outlet and one bathroom with two stalls.

"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. We feel incredibly betrayed," one Guardsman told Politico.

Separately, the National Guard announced Thursday in a press release that 15,000 National Guardsmen are being sent back home, from the more 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.

Comment: The story continued to spin badly for the Democrats. Fox News reports:

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran, tweeted: "Just made a number of calls and have been informed Capitol Police have apologized to the Guardsmen and they will be allowed back into the complex tonight. I'll keep checking to make sure they are."

The DC National Guard released the following statement on Thursday night:

"The National Guard continues to assist and support the U.S. Capitol Police. As Congress is in session and increased foot traffic and business is being conducted, Capitol Police asked the troops to move their rest area. They were temporarily relocated to the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center garage with heat and restroom facilities. We remain an agile and flexible force to provide for the safety and security of the Capitol and its surrounding areas.

Security detail does require a rest period and a rest area as the troops perform their shift work with breaks to get out of inclement weather.

Outraged state governors are pulling their units back:

Govs. Ron DeSantis, Chris Sununu and Greg Abbott announced that they are bringing their National Guard troops back from Washington, D.C., after reports they were posted up in a parking garage near the Capitol to rest during their shifts, a move that caused outrage at the treatment of the servicemembers.

On Fox & Friends, reacting to the controversy, DeSantis also decried background checks of National Guard troops for radicalism ahead of the inauguration and called the massive effort to protect the Capitol a "half-cocked mission at this point."

DeSantis' move follows a similar decision from Abbott, also a Republican.

"I have instructed General Norris to order the return of the Texas National Guard to our state," Abbott tweeted late Thursday. Abbott had also previously lodged a similar objection to DeSantis over the background checks into National Guard servicemembers.

Sununu, the GOP governor from New Hampshire, also announced he is recalling his state's National Guard, saying the soldiers "should be graciously praised, not subject to substandard conditions." But the outrage at the soldiers being sent to rest in a garage was hardly partisan.

And the Guards themselves 'feel betrayed':

The troops are particularly concerned about being packed in tight quarters with limited bathroom access during a pandemic. At least 100 Guardsmen have tested positive for Covid-19, according to two Guardsmen. Some are quarantining in hotels.

A spokesperson previously declined to provide a specific number for troops who have tested positive for the virus.

After images went viral last week of troops sleeping on the floor in the halls of Congress, Guardsmen protecting the Capitol were initially provided cots, POLITICO first reported.

Thousands of troops have already left Washington after around 25,000 were called to D.C. to help defend it from potential threats ahead of President Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.

Social media was there to document the entire fiasco, with former President Trump taking the lead to offer rooms at his Washington hotel:

Just figures, it was a snowflake Dem from WI.

Grew up there, it is a shit hole.

They have hardly shit for respect for our troops, this does not shock me.

Artex · 2021-01-22T19:52:46Z

Speedz It was a rep from MA, not WI. And MKE is kind of a shithole, but the rest of the state is okay if you ignore the leftist radicals in Madison (where I'm stuck).

Speedz · 2021-01-22T21:10:57Z

Artex oops not sure how I misread that. Thanks for the correction.

The German Nazis had a straight arm salute which demonstrated allegiance. The Covid Nazis insist you wear a mask to demonstrate your allegiance. No exceptions allowed.

isotm Right! Sad, isn't it?

Likely the kabbalah tribe that placed all these parasites in government positions told them it will be the UN and Chinese troops that will protect them and get them back home to Israel when the SHTF, so they don't give a rats ass about US troops. The only exception would be Biden, he's so fucking stupid he probably thinks he really won the election and these guys like him.

Sorry, but that first section read like a Babylon Bee article.

Democrat complains about masks

soldier in dunkin donuts,

"mask worn in all fed buildings" (must have forgot Bidden took his off to celebrate (as per press sec) in the Lincoln memorial)

Guardsman claims he values his rights

National Guard looking for the guardsman.

There is a dunkin donuts in the capital building?

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-23T01:51:38Z

So? I would say that you've gotta be kidding me but they're 'looking' for the poor SOB? A Congressman ain't his boss! ARGH!

Also, how can one eat "in a cafe" WITH a mask?

Finally, Bowser dog's bitch rules don't really even count in DC (unusual setup as capital city) AND the damn sure don't apply in the Capitol!

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.

Folks: AA/DS has published an EXCELLENT article about all this. “Thank You For Your Service” – National Guardsmen Freed From Parking Garage to Which They’d Been Banished A snippet:

Because you’re reading this far into a long article, I know you’re someone who reads things, which means you probably don’t have a huge connection to the kind of people who would sign up for the National Guard (at least not two decades after 9/11/2001 and a record of endless and demonstrably fraud-based brutal wars for Israel).

But we all have known a stupid fat kid with a dumb look on his face, who is the sort to walk in and sign up for US Military service because he doesn’t have any idea what is going on. Most of us have one or two in our family. These kinds of people have become harmful to society in recent decades because they lack leadership – not because they are not harmless. I mean, he’s earnest. He’s got his Bible there with him. He’s doing his damn best. I’m sure he called his mama and told her he was doing just fine in that garage.

These are the same folks who really and truly physically built our country (blacks claiming to have done it is a kind of stolen valor). Surely, you agree that these folks deserve to be kept in doors, not forced to sleep outside in the open air like animals.

This is a savage, hateful thing that these Washington people did. And this should remind you: the only thing more hateful than a Jew is a mid -witted white person who got a job making big bucks wearing a suit looking down on the dimwitted white person who didn’t.

One other thing is for certain: Washington, DC was not a city built to be occupied by an army of tens of thousands of soldiers. The people who built the city obviously figured that if that ever happened, it would be an invading army, and they could find their own place to sleep. That fact in itself is one that should mean that these images of the garaged troops violate the conscience of every American.

If someone goes to Yale or Harvard, then goes to live and work in the hive of scum and villainy that is Washington, DC, then you know he cares about one thing, above all else, and that is status. And status is the only thing between him and some earnest fat kid with a Bible who's about to get shipped off to Syria to get his legs blown off by an IED built by a CIA-trained jihadi. [Link]

Rowan Cocoan Wow, I am at a loss for words. Well written is an understatement.

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-24T01:48:31Z

Speedz I love his final point about some poor SOB that we all went to HS with "getting shipped off to Syria to get his legs blown off by a CIA-trained jihadi ." (Try getting a brainwashed prole to look into that! Argh!)

I presume you went to his site [Link] , for the pictures made the article.

I'll here take the opportunity to note that he should way more and bluntly declare his sarcasm/satire/ et al., at least through a disclaimer. He should apply what just explained elsewhere about my writing to one of our newer SOTTites:

As I've written (previously), I mean what I say and say what I mean. I always declare sarcasm, facetiousness et al., and I first wrote that for emails and I now say it here again because it was and is too easy to lose the inflections rife in vocal communication, et al., etc.

In my opinion, AA is a throwback to great columnists of old, and is a Mike Royko or Lewis Grizzard, of his generation. But for that he was CANCELED! Really canceled. His URL was stolen, (I forget the details) and ultimately, his 'cloudfare' was shut down. (Whatever that means.) I had heard of that event (~3/2017? - he writes about it, and their attempts at his and others' 'cancellations' quite a lot and if you find one of his tech articles there, the others are linked in, too.) and I then tried to find him as a matter of principle, but could not. I thought he had been permanently canceled/lost, but either SOTT &/or Unz posted an article by him and I bookmarked his site. [Link] You should too.

My top sites are here, him, Unz & Global Research. If you need any links please advise.

How is your evening going?

I mostly only come here and go on gab now.

I have never been a fan of many other sites as I get brain fried from conflicting stories.

Mostly trying to decompress and hope this all ends soon. Home life seems to echo real world issues as well.

Much harder to escape home life. So my evenings are usually filled with stress and escapism or trying to.

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-24T02:11:28Z

Speedz Hang tough! Feel better.

Also, a friend of mine who knows says:

1. If they're giving you anything ending in 'cet', (e.g., Percocet, say, thanks but no, just the oxy, please - I think I said that to you before. Whatever.)

2. Try insufflation on oxycodone IR. It really works and the ''medical study' that claimed it did not was rigged and I can go into the details if needed. I know that they've been putting gooey stuff in it in an effort to prevent it from being used effectively. (Sometimes the smaller IR dosages such as 5mg do not have that crap. If/when faced with that, I'd recommend crushing it as much as possible and then sub lingua.

Then there's fentanyl, but that stuff is so stupidly overpotent it is scary; ask TP.( RIP)

Keep in touch my friend.

RC

Speedz · 2021-01-24T03:21:41Z

Rowan Cocoan All just straight Oxy. 2 versions 12 hour slow release and 4 hour spike fast acting

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-24T04:05:19Z

Speedz (Note: I am being told by a client what to write here and in past posts, I have no personal experience with drugs whatsoever, except coffee and alcohol.*)

RC's friend says:

1. Insufflation, my friend.

2. Rectal administration. (If folks weren't so hung up on trivialities, as planned and programmed by the SOB/PTB's, this would be well known, and Jimi, Janice, et al., would still be alive etc.) Rectal administration via rectal syringe (no, there's no needle in it, but it gives an RX blood level of about 80% of IV, without the risks. [Link] (NO FENTANYL! That shit will kill super-quick anyone who is unskilled in dosing - just ask TP.

* I may have just there violated my main mantra which has never been explicated; I'm confident you'll understand.

Rowan Cocoan I may not want to live long, but fent is not the way I wish to go. I refused that one.

Leaked? Hacked? Who gives a fuck?! As long as it's truth, that is all that matters.
