"Every state, territory and the District of Columbia will have National Guard men and women supporting the inauguration," the statement said.As of Thursday, there were 7,000 Guardsmen in Washington from more than a dozen states and the DC National Guard. That number will more than triple in the next few days.
Chelsi Johnson, spokesperson for the DC National Guard, said in a statement to CNN that the move was requested by federal authorities and authorized by Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy. The first wave of National Guard troops who arrived at the Capitol were unarmed.Different entities involved in the inauguration are preparing as well. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during Biden's inauguration.
Don’t know why they need so many Nat’l Guard. The ones who commit the violence will be there cheering on their guy! Which proves it never was Republicans! You will see no violence because Republicans/Trump supporters never done it in the first place!
Lol all this for someone who supposedly got the most votes ever. Get real !
Ugandan is bleeding museven stop killing Ugandan sporty BOBIWINE is not acrime u still the vote because you want to stay in power but stl yr stl killing people why europeanunioncountries we need yr help
I hope that’s enough.
Stop the farewell party Trump! This is insane!!!!
I hope to set the table first, not just fighting each other to avoid meaningless victims, because a lot of people in the world are watching the U.S.
Hope there doing something for air traffic over Washington DC and people using drones around Washington DC as a weapon s platform
I'm not saying anyone did, but if one party (or coalition of forces) managed to successfully steal a US election, this is just what I would expect the inauguration to look like. Partisan WarGames
Just goes to show the trouble and worry one family can cause the USA. Good luck Joe and Kamala! MAKE AMERICA, AMERICA AGAIN
Lets hope they stand firm and put anarchists in their place in case of insurrection.
History of human nations .. Army in the capital today for save presedent ... Tomorrow to control the presedent.. USA have Army in Afganistan and Iraq taste that pleasure of leading and control people ...
It looks like getting ready for a war more than inauguration event.
I only hope they don't forget the State capitols, don't get me wrong DC does need security, but please remember the other 50+ threats
Sad but good.
When u have that much military on your inauguration, u know that people didn’t voted for u.Biden= Hitler. Democrats = Natzis
25k troops to protect the inauguration that’s theme is America United. This says everything about what America is United against...anyone who disagrees with the administration. Even a little. No worries for CNN.
your friend modi Pulwama attack share this please on every media page
In the 2000s we had to protect ourselves from Al Qaida. In the 2010s we had to protect ourselves from ISIS. Now in the 2020s its the Trumpadums. Seems every decade we get crowds of people brainwashed by charismatic liars.
Wow! That's a lot troops in the streets.
There is victory in this dark tunnel. Remember there is God.
This sounds like a headline from another country.

Trump must be fuming that Biden is getting the military parade that he didn't get.
Let's give Trump the send-off he deserves!
How many for Trumps parade he is planning at the White House.?
Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me
is journalist terrorism which is engaging in treason.
I suppose he needs someone to attend it. He can also get rent a crowd to attend if needed. Do you really think anyone would want to see this.
Where’s the B-2 fly over? Or the B-52?
Good thinking
DON'T LET TERRORIST, TRUMP attend ceremony Right next minute Handover/Takeover Document is signed, load RADICAL EXTREMIST on militaryAircraft, drop at his airport. Street transport is FANATIC’S business.Block PARTITIONIST’S Air,Seat,Road Exits. PAYS Govt&Others'DEBTS,DUES in JAIL
When an insurrection is going on against the United States the Secret Service should be ushering the President to the Bunker.. But No!! He was watching a big screen because he knew he had nothing to worry about... It was planned!!
That’s because no one was going to show up anyways- now they only look a little less of morons but deep down they know how stupid they are
Apparently Trump and his henchmen have finally lost command.
They're going to need all of them soldiers and those fences and barbed wire to keep all them traitors in for when they all get arrested and brought to Guantanamo for Treason
Imagine the outcry from the media if they did that for Trump. They'd be calling him Hitler.
PMOIndia ‘s favourite minister myogiadityanath Is addressing to kill muslims & convert muslim girls to hindu to make india one religion nation! He also believes in assaulting women is privilege! Why world is being viewer of murdering human rights ? RoarForFarmersRights
you mean his arrest? lol
Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform
How can we be so naive to give one man the power to create this disgusting display in a democracy while leaving scholars unable to interpret laws which seem to give a President supreme control while laws making only a hand slap legal.Are ALL men created equal, except the Presiden
Sad that 45 left the country in turmoil. Clearly never was a leader and now he wants a military send off as he thumbs his nose at tradition by skipping the inauguration. They should point to having to deploy the NG as his send off! Good riddance!
Trump should leave a day before inauguration ceremony as not to spread bad vibes or unpleasant ness on this big day ,he has spread enough bad in Capitol hill don't trust him.
25 thousand. They are using 25 to trigger something. Hmm what could it be?
Its sad that has tô be done.
You guys are not in Baghdad , Iraq to protect the GreenZone ..
Hahaha what a sick militaristic regime
GOD bless all our Heroes and thank you Grandma
I'm free and not afraid to pull the trigger.
Corrupt Nonlegit Narcissists cnn . All across America and the world. Your network is known for false reports, aggression, lies and deceit.. garbage.. wait for it. Its coming..
Its doubtful that D-day took as much effort as is now being put into saving America from itself
Well its good but I hope this does not become the norm
This life is a big exam, Evil + Not repent = miserable Whether it is this life or eternity. Should not betray the United States! Don't sell your soul！Choose justice！🙏🙏🙏
Where were they when BLM/Antifa burned down multiple cities this past summer?
Lol.. Poor America is the most oppressed country in the world.
So real talk. Has anyone else heard about the Russia election investigation documents being released? I’ve heard that but seen very little news on it. I’m wondering if it won’t backfire and get Trump in more trouble. 😂
I think what President Trump said is true, and Biden will fight to isolate Trump so he doesn't compete in the 2024 election.
1/2 Stop referring to the left as Progressives or Socialists. They are neither. They don't believe in progress - they believe in quick, radical changes. They don't believe in socialism where people pool resources together to help one another - they believe in a one-party system
Is that in addition to the 21,000 on the ground in DC already?
I just had a bad dream about US. 😥
You mean the very national guardsmen that some of these congressional idiots were calling storm troopers and the ghestapo?
Why do you think he needs them and idea?
The same party that said fences and walls don't work ... are using them to keep inauguration spectators out!!! 😳😳😳
Because of Trump, there is now a far greater military presence deployed in DC, to fight domestic terrorism, than Troops deployed in Syria (about 600 U.S. Troops), Iraq (about 3,000 Troops) and Afghanistan (4,500 US Troops) to fight al Qaeda Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, ISIS and Iran.
That is more than the tv viewers.
What's this Seriously?...
PLEASE DO NOT SEND A REPORTER OR CAMERA CREW TO TRUMP'S 21-GUN SALUTE FOR HIMSELF. COMPLETELY IGNORE IT (I really hope the military doesn't show up.) I would think if people can't attend the inauguration in person they aren't going to be able to get anywhere near his sh*t show!
I'm glad. But pls pay attention &watch unhinged Trump who wants2 've 21-Gun Salute Departure same day of Pres Joe Biden's Inauguration day. Trump is conniving enough 2use his so called 'salute red carpet Departure' event as an excuse to invite & get his proud boys close by Biden.
That's because they JoeBiden know we're coming ..America first..
Can not understand... 'The matter has been raised with the relevant agencies and is currently under investigation.' The representative said the 'duress buttons' had previously been 'installed throughout the Congresswoman's office suite.' The buttons were removed
🐀🇨🇳🐀Chinese guards 🐀🇨🇳💉🇺🇲💉🇨🇳🐀
Yes!!! Follow CNN FOR ALL THE FAKE NEWS YOU CAN HANDLE!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH
He was ARMED!!!!!!
Wow. We just a little more in Korea at the DMZ to prevent war... smh... ImpeachTrump
Too bad they weren`t deployed to CHAZ sooner.
Russia!
With everything coming out today about the pillow guy and martial law, trump is grasping for sedition straws. He is stoking conspiracy and fear. He will not win. He'll try anything he can, but at this point he is a pariah and everyone is bailing on him.
So who’s protecting the other state capitols
UNPRESIDENTED files: while Washington DC is preparing to inaugurate a new president, they are sending in thousands of troops and major tactical planning all over the country to protect America from our current president.
I should think so too. He must be guarded at all costs.
But what percentage are more loyal to My Pillow Guy and the Cheeto than the constitution?
Couldn't get anyone to show up so they make the military stand in?
He will not be the next president Mf fake news 🤮
How much is this costing?
We must RemoveTrump from office now — not later.
Preemptive strike to those domestic terrorists are needed. ASAP
If such a big threat why not just move it indoors ?
Wonder how many are actually maga planning another terrorist attack
That's excellent, the ugly incident of the Capitol can't repeat itself in the contemporary United State of America. Up USA! I wait to witness the colorful transition on the 20th January 2021.
Biggest crowd ever
rocky theme and quick jog would be remembered
But the democrats refused to use them in Oregon.... LOL
What a great show of force.
Conservatives mobilize troops for security and its fascism. Liberals mobilize troops for security and its.... hypocritical? 🤷🏻♂️ Don't worry, the 'media' will tell you what to think.
So is tRump trying to suck air and media from Biden inauguration? No doubt the “crowd side” claim will arise again - “my inauguration crowd was bigger look at the photos”, “my departure crowd was bigger, biggest ever, they love me!!”
All trump wants to do is disrupt the inauguration so he can say there was more at his going away party .!!! Mind games ppl and trump is good at mind games
25,000 troops in DC for the inauguration. 🤔😷
While it is definitely needed and in retrospect should have been in place the 6th, it is my hope this doesn’t lead to a massive COVID surge. They are closely gathered, in masks yes but still very close from the pics I have seen. A super spreader and carrying it back home.
Trump made all this necessary.
Watch out for the snipers
