Dem Congressman Says 75% of the National Guard “Might Want to Do Something” to Harm Joe Biden

In a CNN interview with Jim Sciutto, Tennessee representative Steve Cohen (D) smeared the National Guard troops tasked with inauguration security, claiming that white male troops (most of the National Guard) didn’t vote for Biden and are therefore all suspected of intending to do Joe Biden harm.

“You know I think the Guard is 90 some odd percent I believe male, only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden,” Cohen said on CNN. “You gotta figure that the guard which is predominantly more conservative and I see that on my social media, and we know it, there are probably not more than 25 percent of the people there protecting us that voted for Biden, the other 75 percent are in the class that would be the large class of folks who might want to do something and there were military people and police who took oaths to defend the Constitution and to protect and defend who didn’t do it, who were in the insurrection. So it does concern me.”

Various reports have indicated that the FBI is screening every single soldier activated to secure the event for possible ties to “extremist” groups and/or participation in the January 6th Capitol trespassing. Various Democrat politicians, including Joe Biden himself, have labeled the January 6th protests (and all Trump supporters) extremists, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists.

The military justice system allows for the severe punishment of any service member guilty of participation in so-called extremist groups. In an age where politicians routinely redefine words and meanings to fit their purposes, it is not hard to imagine Trump-voting military members being targeted, canceled, fired, or prosecuted simply for supporting Donald Trump or participating in a protest or rally.

Trump-supporting service members would be wise to reevaluate whether or not they want to continue to serve under a presidential administration bent on persecuting them for their political convictions.
