“They don’t complain, but it is my job to really protect the team and make sure they are not placed in such poor conditions, so we removed them,” Sununu told Fox & Friends on Saturday morning. “If there is another call, there is another mission that we will always be there for sure. But I just needed to make sure that we weren’t part of a broken system. ”
DeSantis called the deployment an “ill-armed mission at this point” and said it was time to bring the guards home.
“These people are soldiers,” DeSantis told Fox News on Friday morning. “They are not Nancy Pelosi’s servants. This comes from behind them trying to investigate the background of our guards. Florida, we don’t let them get into their political beliefs. This was totally inappropriate. ”
The FBI examined members of the guard amid fears of an internal attack, removing 12.
Texas’ Abbott tweeted Thursday night he instructed a general to order the state National Guard to return home, and Gianforte de Montana did the same Friday morning.
Abbott said that Guard troops had to pass a “political correctness test”.
“These are men and women who must be respected and not denigrated,” said Abbott in Hannity on Friday. “These are men and women who served in Afghanistan and abroad and are still forced to sleep in a parking lot.”
