Legions of National Guard members were let back into the U.S. Capitol on Thursday night after being forced out of a Capitol cafeteria resting area and into a parking garage nearby, according to multiple reports.
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service,” one Guard member told Politico, who first reported the news. “Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed.”
Two soldiers told The Washington Post that the move put the group, which has been responsible for protecting the nation’s Capitol, into the onslaught of moving cars, exhaust fumes and troops potentially infected with the coronavirus.
