DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to Call in National Guard for Pro-Trump Stop the Steal Protests
Interesting…
On New Year’s Eve Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser wrote a letter to the commanding general of the DC National Guard, Major General William J. Walker, asking for the Guard’s presence in her city from January 5th through January 7th.
A United States defense official has said that they will be used for “traffic control and other assistance” and will not be armed.
The letter, which was posted on The Last Refuge, reads in part:

“[…] First Amendment demonstrations permitted by the National Park Service are scheduled to occur in the District of Columbia on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 and Wednesday, January 6, 2021. As a result, District Government requests DC National Guard (DCNG) support, as these demonstrations follow similar events on November 14, 2020 and December 12, 2020, which resulted in a large influx of participants, violence and criminal activity.”
“The District of Columbia is requesting personnel for the DCNG. Further, DCNG will support operations for both the Metropolitan Police Department and the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Finally, no DCNG personnel shall be armed during this mission, and at no time, will DCNG personnel or assets be engaged in domestic surveillance, searches, or seizures of US persons.”
So Bowser has prepared to use the National Guard in advance for Stop the Steal protests yet dragged her feet in using the Guard to help stop violent Antifa and BLM riots over the summer? Funny how that works…
Four months ago Bowser announced that she would consider recommendations from the DCFACES Working Group on which monuments to “remove or relocate.” The list included monuments of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Columbus, Andrew Jackson, George Washington, Francis Griffith Newlands, and Albert Pike:

PATHETIC: National Guard Booted to Parking Lot After Democrat Congressman Complained They Weren’t Wearing Masks
The Democrat complained about masks.
New reports suggest that a detachment of National Guard personnel present in Washington, DC for Inauguration duties were kicked out of their spartan lodging in the Capitol to a parking lot after a Democrat Congressman complained that one of the guardsmen wasn’t wearing a mask at a Dunkin’ Donuts inside the Capitol.
Breitbart News has learned that Massachusetts Democrat Will Keating reported that he encountered a soldier at the Capitol without a mask. When Keating told the guardsman to wear a mask, the service member told Keating, “I appreciate my freedom.”
This event reportedly led to the entire National Guard detachment being kicked out of their lodging inside a Capitol lobby to an outdoor parking lot, where they were exposed to freezing temperatures.
Keating has declined to comment on the exchange, with reports suggesting he reported the incident to Capitol Police. This led to the Guard being booted outside as a punishment.
“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 Guard member told Politico about being kicked to the curb.
Establishment Democrats had been eager to use the military service members as political props, even after a fiasco in which they were caught trying to purge conservative-leaning Guard personnel for insufficiently loyalty to the Biden government. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas recalled the detachments of their state National Guards from DC following the second incident of disrespect to the troops, with the former rejecting the idea of FL Guard members being utilized as Nancy Pelosi’s personal servants.
