Councilwoman Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC - I really don't understand these posts saying the guardsmen shouldn't have been put 'in harms way' by being deployed to Washington DC.
They're basically saying American soldiers are unsafe in the capital city of their own nation, as though it were equal to a deployment to a foreign warzone.
Yet almost every major lefty account is parroting this narrative. It's bizarre.
Like "of COURSE people are going to try and murder the National Guard, what did you expect to happen in Washington"
Is this the narrative here? That Washington is Fallujah? Or is it that the left has declared a de facto state of war, and casualties are now just to be expected?
It's extremely bad either way.

This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Houston-area #TX22 GOP Rep. Troy Nehls won’t seek re-election to a 4th term and will retire at the end of this 119th Congress.

Congressman Troy E. Nehls @RepTroyNehls
After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district in Congress, I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress.
Before making this decision, I called President Trump personally to let him know of my plans. President Trump has always been a strong ally for our district and a true friend, and I wanted him to hear it from me first.
