National Guard Members Look for Place to Stay After DC Mayor Kicks Them Out of Hotel
2020-06-06
[Breitbart] Members of the National Guard on Friday were looking for a new place to stay, after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered that they leave the hotel they were staying at, according to an official.

The city had taken over the Marriott Marquis in downtown Washington, D.C. to use for the National Guard’s coronavirus response mission, but many rooms remained vacant, so National Guard members deploying to D.C. as part of the civil unrest mission began staying there.

Bowser did not like the idea that Guardsmen from out of state were staying at the hotel, so she ordered the more than 1,000 members to leave.

National Guard members who worked the night shift now are looking for a new place to stay instead of getting rest before their next shift, the official told Breitbart News.

The National Guard said in a statement:
Some National Guard responders were quartering in hotel accommodations which had preexisting contractual agreements with the District. Out of respect for existing agreements those facilities have with the city government, those service members have relocated. For further information, please contact city government.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) blasted Bowser’s order, which affected 200 National Guardsmen from Utah:

#6  She didn't need authoritah. She just had to start maundering and Esper fell in line.

#5  Does Bowser have the authority to do that? Seems like she is over-stepping her authority.

#2  Quarter them in the House of Representatives; it is not being used for anything these days.

Otherwise, quarter them in tents and temporary structures around the monuments and in and around Federal buildings.

"Out of state...?" What foking "state."

Proving once again that urban politicians actually 'want' anarchy and violence.
