The inauguration mall was EMPTY of people as Biden gave his speech, due to Covid.

But they had brought in 26,000 troops to guard against.... somebody.

And now that the crowds (?) have all gone home, the Biden administration still wants to keep the city garrisoned for at least another month.

In case anybody had any doubts about what kind of administration they are getting for the next four years, now you know.

National Guard to keep 5,000 troops in DC until March

by Lucas Y. Tomlinson | Fox News

Democrats using military occupation of DC as political weapon

The National Guard says 5,000 troops will remain in the nation’s capital through mid-March, Fox News has learned.

"As we continue to work to meet the final post-inauguration requirements, the National Guard has been requested to continue supporting federal law enforcement agencies with 7,000 members and will draw down to 5,000 through mid-March," the Guard said in a statement.

"We are providing assistance such as security, communications, medical evacuation, logistics, and safety support to state, district and federal agencies."

Well, the 25,000 National Guard folks (during a pandemic!) were there to lend credence to left wing (faux) fear of Trump voters.

Nobody was surprised at the fizzle and to learn the faux fear was, of course, groundless.

Not a surprise the left wants to continue the faux fear narrative by continuing to keep needless Guardsmen in DC.

Wildly screamed (faux) fear as pretext for groundless action is a consistent Democrat and Media tactic.

.....because a new Congresswoman from CO Lauren Boebert, a Sarah Palin wannabe, is trying to smuggle a gun into the chamber.

Tina Fey would be a riot on SNL doing her! One door closes another opens.

They are keeping them there as exhibit #1 for the impeachment trial. “He has so endangered us, is so threatening to us, we have to keep the military in our nation’s capital!!!”
