Lt. Gen. Russel Honore recommends 24/7 'quick reaction force' of D.C. Guard to protect the Capitol after review – as Tucker Carlson brands Pelosi pick an ‘unhinged partisan’

Obama began turning America into a South American tin-pot republic and now Pelosi chooses a general who fits the part. TD

 UK Daily Mail . . . "Pelosi ordered the review after the Jan. 6th riot and brought in retired Lt. Gen. Russsel Honore to oversee it.

"Among his recommendations are a 'quick reaction force,' known in military parlance as a QRF.

"The report calls for a 'QRF that permanently resides within the DC [National] Guard by reestablishing a military police battalion and staffing it with Active Guard Reserve troops who live in or near the city year round, perpetually on active duty,' according to a report by Fox News." . . .

. . . " 'Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator, ripped Honore on his prime-time program Thursday while describing the recommendation for a permanent force.   

" 'Honoré is an unhinged partisan extremist, nuttier than anyone affiliated with QAnon.,' he inveighed. 'He was chosen by Nancy Pelosi precisely because of this. She knew that Honoré would justify a military takeover of Washington, and she was right,' he said.

"Many Republicans had already groused about Honore, brought in to salvage the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after he said shortly after Jan. 6th that the former sergeants at arms may have been 'complicit.' He also tweeted days after the riot that Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, the first senator to say he would challenge electoral votes in states where Trump was claiming fraud, 'should be run out of DC' and called him a 'little piece of s***''.

"Trump loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has also gone after Honore publicly, tweeting that Pelosi 'hired a bigot to hunt MAGA.' 


"Gaetz and other Trump loyalists on the House Judiciary Committee wrote Pelosi to call some of Honore's public comments 'deeply offensive.'
 

"Immediately after the attack he accused Capitol police of have 'allowed their buddies' into the building. He also said of gun-toting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.): authorities should 'put her stupid a** on the no-fly list.' " . . .
