Several Republican governors are recalling their National Guard troops from Washington, DC, in the wake of reports they were subjected to subpar conditions and poor treatment.

On Thursday and Friday, Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, and Greg Abbott of Texas (all of them assholes) all announced they were ordering their troops home.

Some 20,000 Guardsman arrived in DC to help with security for President Joe Biden's inauguration just two weeks after Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol and killed a police officer.

The orders came after photos showed thousands of troops sleeping in a parking garage on Thursday after being told to leave the Capitol. The images sparked outrage from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, who demanded an investigation.

Any excuse.

1. They are attempting to make an issue out of nothing

We don't even yet know why some guardsmen were over there.

2. Hey! You added the assholes part!

3. They all got the same memo from the Governors whatchamacallit..

The same way all the fox and am radio people hit the same exact talking points at the same exact time. The R governors do the same because individual thinking isn't part of the hive mentality.

4. Most of these departures were planned before they went to DC. It was a short activation.

5. A friend of my daughter is one sleeping in a parking garage

Her reaction is she’s had it worse. She’s actually enjoying her stay.

6. Why werent the republican governors aware of what is going on with their ntl guard

7. It was the Capitol Police who ordered them out of the park

Lawmakers moved to fix the issue very quickly once they were aware of it.

8. Good!

I would rather have troops from blue states. Sure, red states can have loyal, decent, and intelligent men in service, but I would give odds the average blue state guardsman has a higher IQ and is less likely to be racist.
I am a Texan, and I love Texas, but I think even the great Molly Ivans would have agreed on this.

15. I hope you realize troops do not get to choose where they are stationed right?

And as a Texan I disagree with your statement.

If it is a political red/blue issue, the guardsmen were sent with inadequate preparations under a republican administration.

10. Guards from Democratic states ended up in the parking garage also.

11. Yep... I was referring to the Trump administration.

[former9thward]

12. Trump did not control the guard or have anything to do with them.

The state governors do. And Biden is now president.

[SlogginThroughIt]

14. Right... but that is the issue these republican govs are trying to make it out to be

Truth and reality have no bearing on this situation.

13. The NG troops could have just stayed home if Trump (R) hadn't started a riot and insurrection.

I certainly hope we point out that the NG are there in the first place because of Republicans.
