Dr. Jill with a basket of cookies can't erase the poor treatment of National Guard troops

 Matt Margolis:

The Biden administration is clearly trying to clean up the mess of one of its first big scandals by sending first lady Jill Biden to the rescue. With cookies!

As PJM’s Tyler O’Neil reported earlier, on Thursday evening, “hundreds of National Guard troops were forced to sleep in a parking lot after they had been mysteriously booted from the U.S. Capitol,” after being brought in to secure the inauguration from alleged threats that never materialized. Prior to this huge demonstration of disrespect, these same troops had to be vetted by the FBI over alleged fears of an insider attack—despite there being no intelligence a threat ever existed.

After being booted from the Capitol, approximately 5,000 National Guardsmen were forced to sleep in a parking garage overnight, prompting President Trump to reportedly come to the rescue and offer National Guardsmen still stationed at the Capitol lodging at his hotel in Washington, D.C.

This scandal has been a public relations nightmare for the Biden administration, already defending itself from accusations of hypocrisy after Biden and his family went maskless on federal property hours after he signed an executive order mandating that masks be worn at all times on federal property and in federal buildings. Not only did the Biden administration treat National Guardsman so poorly and disrespectfully, but President Trump had to jump in to make things right. There were even a few Democrats in Congress who were outraged at how these troops were treated.

So, they sent First Lady Jill Biden out with cookies for a photo-op to make it all better.

...

It is looking more and more like they never needed the National Guard in the first place and even worse they never set up adequate housing for them.  It looks like Nancy Pelosi wanted the troops as props to deal with her fear of Trump voters.  Their treatment has been shameful.  BTW, there is talk of keeping 5,000 troops in Washington through March.
