National Guard Welcomed Back to Rest In Capitol, But More Comes Out On Why They May Have Been Booted

"So why did they toss them out then? That seems the critical question here. The initial comments from the Capitol Police don’t seem to make a lot of sense. The Capitol Police denied to Politico that they told them to leave. The National Guard said they were told to leave by the Capitol Police, indicating it was because of “increased foot traffic” in the Capitol. But there’s been increased foot traffic all the time they’ve been there and why would that make any difference? And obviously the Capitol Police did tell them to get out.

"Politico reported that the first Guardsman they spoke to said it may have been a mask complaint against the National Guard. The National Guard said everyone of the Guard has been instructed to wear their masks.

"But Breitbart is reporting that this may all have occurred because Democratic Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) allegedly saw a Guard member without a mask in a cafe in the building. That when Keating said something about masks being required the Guard member said “I appreciate my freedom.” According to Breitbart’s “source,” they’re now looking for that Guard member. Now we will note that will this tailors with the Politico initial story, Breitbart is the only one reporting this so far, so we put out caveat in there about “source” reporting.

"But if they got tossed out because of a Democratic complaint because someone had a mask off in a cafe (as in ‘place where people eat’), that’s just ridiculous and even more ridiculous if it’s true they’re trying to hunt down the poor guy." . . .
