Not content with barricading the Capitol with razor wire and troops, the democrat representative from Guam brought troops into the buildings proper. Who authorized the invasiion?
I assume these troops were at the Capitol to begin with because they’re stationed there as part of the security effort after January 6. Did San Nicolas pull them off duty to make this stunt happen? If not, what was the process by which he convinced uniformed Guardsmen to join him for a visit to a congresswoman’s office for the purpose of humiliating her? Did their C.O. order them to accompany him? We deserve some answers on how this happened. As others have pointed out, if Ted Cruz had marched over to, say, AOC’s office with members of the Texas National Guard in tow hoping to embarrass her somehow, the media would be awash in hot takes today about violent intimidation and improper political use of the military.
Greene’s staff handled it well, to their credit.
The CO should be cashiered for allowing this, but won’t be.
