parking garage with only one bathroomPresident Joe Biden has called the chief of the National Guard Bureau to apologize after images circulated online of troops sleeping in a parking garage.
Biden also asked what could be done to help these National Guard members, the BBC reported.
Following the Capitol insurrection on January 6, roughly 25,000 troops were deployed to Washington DC to bolster Biden's inauguration security.
During breaks between shifts, these troops were previously finding locations inside the Capitol complex to sleep.

If Trump were still in office instead of apologizing he'd be trying to find someone to scapegoat the problem.

(6,105 posts)1. Because Biden has empathy.and kindness in his heart.
Trump is missing these key components to making a decent human being. And it wasn't even Joe's fault!!

Did the Capitol Police tell them to sleep there? Or someone within the Guard?

(3,054 posts)3. Capitol Police was posted yesterday
Sen. Duckworths tweet said she call the CP and they agreed to help the NG out.
I dont think or hope that we will hear a Command in Chief say I am not responsible soon.

(8,090 posts)4. Yeah, I heard that the CP said they didn't need the Guard in certain areas...
but I was wondering, who, specifically, directed them to a parking garage. I guess that's something we'll never know.
