seems some media sources want to blame everything on the Dems and Pelosi and Biden...both Dems and GOP were outraged when this was brought to light...
one Guardsman tweeted the Biden administration made the decision, which wasn't true...
the commander of the National Guard said that he and the Capitol Police agreed to move their "rest area" to the parking garage after the buildings were re-opened for business...hotel rooms are available for the Guard, but mostly go unused because of the distance and time needed to go there given the short turn arounds for on duty and off duty hours...and the regular breaks scheduled during a shift
seems that some large gathering areas/conference rooms/visitors centers inside the buildings have been reserved as rest areas to accommodate them...the numbers of soldiers assigned to protect the Capitol has been reduced...and will be 7,000 until end of month
