Pentagon extends National Guard support in DC after trucker convoy arrives

The Pentagon on Monday extended National Guard support to Washington, D.C., law enforcement after the Capitol Police Board over the weekend issued an emergency declaration due to truck drivers protesting COVID-19 policies in the area. 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved requests from the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency “to extend previously approved National Guard support in the District, including around the U.S. Capitol area,” according to a statement from press secretary John Kirby. 

The guardsmen will provide support at traffic control points for two additional days through Wednesday, Kirby said.

Austin last month approved 700 unarmed National Guard troops to be deployed in Washington from Feb. 26 through March 7 to help with traffic ahead of the truck convoy.

There is a word for those people, but I will content myself knowing full well that the same "protection" could have been mustered on 1/6 had not Ms Pelosi and others pulled the plug.

May their Depends fill quickly and their garment legs run brown.

Have the usual suspects ginned up a false flag moment yet for the cameras?

The convoy is not going into DC for fear of Jan 6 treatment. They are circling DC instead.
