Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Monday that he has rejected the Biden administration’s request for Florida National Guard troops to deploy to Washington, D.C., for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address.
“Last week, the Biden Administration requested the assistance of State National Guards to deploy to Washington D.C. I have rejected this request — there will be no @FLGuard sent to D.C. for Biden’s State of the Union,” DeSantis tweeted.
Also on Monday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz posted video on Twitter showing newly-erected fencing surrounding the Capitol grounds.
“Welcome to Kabuki theater Washington. This is the fence Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have erected, because we need theatrical backdrops for Biden’s State of the Union Address,” Cruz said in the video. “Unless they’re expecting a zombie apocalypse, this makes no sense as a security matter. But it is Hollywood theatrics. The same theatrics we’ve seen for the past year plus. Pitiful.”
