John Kennedy Decries Continued National Guard Presence: ‘Like A Scene From Mad Max'
 [FOX] Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy questioned the need for the continued presence of military weaponry and thousands of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. days after the inauguration of President Joe Biden.Thousands of National Guard troops who were brought in after the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol saw their deployments extended due to anticipated violence surrounding the impending February impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Kennedy praised military members during a Tuesday night appearance on Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight," but suggested there was a "political angle" surrounding Democrats’ insistence on the continued presence. "[The] inauguration is over, but if you look around Capitol Hill, parts of it look like a scene from Mad Max," Kennedy told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. "I mean, there’s razor wire, fences, barricades, humvees, automatic weapons, at one point they had tanks, and the news media is always filming this stuff." Posted by: Besoeker 2021-01-27 |
