STUPID, dangerous @GOP #Kevin McCarthy is blaming Pelosi and Schumer for Nat Guard being kicked


into garages tonight!! damn him
BTW--the Capitol Police made his horrible mistake and have apologized and the Nat. Guard is out of the garage now.

Will stupid #KevinMcCarthy apologize to Pelosi and Schumer? Waiting


@RepSwalwell
This is wrong and must be fixed now. But it’s despicable that @gopleader
is falsely blaming the Speaker and Leader by (again) spreading misinformation that could get people killed.

This was a Capitol Police decision — the Speaker and Leader have no authority over them.

Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer—why are American troops who are tasked with keeping security at the Capitol being forced to sleep in a parking lot?

They deserve to be treated with respect, and we deserve answers.

If it wasn't for your party's insurrection of trying to over throw the government the NG would not even be there!

Rep McCarthy —why are American troops tasked with keeping security at the Capitol?

The building and Congress deserve to be treated with respect, and we deserve answers.

There's fan fic out there that has McCarthy and McConnell giving each other a bj.

I'm not linking to it, because this OP is already disgusting enough as it is.

These are sick and dangerous people. They are saying Trump never needed this kind of protection, what are the Democrats scared for?
