Not true: National Guard troops gave their response to Democrat insults

Via Snopes: This video does not show members of the National Guard intentionally turning their backs on Biden’s motorcade.

This video does not show members of the National Guard intentionally turning their backs on Biden’s motorcade.. . . 

Andrea Widburg  "Democrats are ambivalent about the military, something clear from their approach to the inauguration. The Democrats summoned 26,000 National Guard troops to D.C., purportedly to protect Joe Biden from rioters. They then accused those same troops of being potentially dangerous White supremacists. Many of the troops responded, not by being dangerous, because they’re patriotic, constitutionally guided Americans, but by apparently turning their backs on Joe Biden.". . . 


. . ."It turns out that Leftists also like the military, not as a force against America’s foreign enemies, but as a force against Americans. That’s why the Democrats, working with their allies in the Pentagon, placed 26,000 National Guard troops in D.C. as part of Biden’s decidedly weird inauguration. Instead of crowds of excited Americans, Biden would take the oath of office behind massive fences, surrounded by ph[a]lanxes of National Guard troops." . . .
The FBI – another Democrat institution – therefore investigated the National Guard troops for ideological purity. It’s reasonable to believe that those who passed the test were nevertheless offended that their loyalty to American norms was being questioned. Many of them revealed that sentiment by turning their backs on the Biden motorcade, in much the same way that the New York Police Department earlier turned their backs on New York's cop-hating mayor, Bill de Blasio: . . .

There were three possible reasons:
1. None of the troops respected the office of the President.
2. The troops were afraid that if they looked at Biden, they would turn to stone.
3. They were told to look outward because that’s where any potential threat might originate.

I’m guessing number three.
