The guards were moved after they were told they could no longer use space within the US Capitol Complex, including areas like the cafeteria of a Senate office building, as a rest area, multiple Guardsmen told CNN. “We honestly just feel betrayed,” one told CNN earlier Thursday “After everything went seamlessly, we were deemed useless and banished to a corner of a parking garage.”
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has decided to step in to help out. She took to Twitter to offer them her office. She tweeted: “Yeah this is not okay. My office is free this week to any service members who’d like to use it for a break or take nap on the couch. We’ll stock up on snacks for you all too. (We’re in the middle of moving offices and it’s a bit messy so don’t judge, but make yourself at home!)”
According to CNN, members of the National Guard have been allowed back into the Capitol Complex this Friday after a slate of lawmakers voiced their outrage at guardsmen being banished to a parking garage as a rest area, a guardsman told the news site. They will now be allowed to rest in the US Capitol Visitor Center, the guardsman said.
