The Hill
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) sharply criticized federal officials Monday over reports that the Department of Defense, assisted by the FBI, is vetting members of the National Guard assigned to provide security during the inauguration this week.
In a tweet Monday evening that included an article from The Washington Post, Abbott called the joint effort by the Pentagon and FBI "offensive." He also said that he would not order Texas's National Guard deployed to Washington, D.C., again if the troops under his command were "disrespected" and had to take part in the vetting effort.
"No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard," he tweeted.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that FBI officials were moving to vet all 25,000 members of the National Guard deployed to D.C. in an attempt to eliminate the possibility of an attack during the inauguration.
OVERNIGHT DEFENSE: 12 removed from National Guard inauguration...
Abbott's remarks came just hours before it was reported Tuesday that two members of the National Guard had been removed from their assignments to the inauguration due to ties to right-wing fringe groups.
No specific plot against President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration has been uncovered, but the nation's capital remains on high alert and parts of Washington are restricted for lawmakers' and government workers' safety following the Jan. 6 riot that roiled the U.S. Capitol.
An FBI intelligence report obtained by The Washington Post on Monday indicated that followers of the QAnon conspiracy may attempt to pose as members of the National Guard on Inauguration Day.

Abbott is a supremacist, like El Paya Jerry. Graham Sevier was right!
Vet the military.
the sad part is because Texas has no real Democratic Party Abbott will face no viable opponent in 2022.
Bobby WC
Da Blimp still getting things wrong -
He writes, "Schumer will be the new speaker."
Schumer will not be speaker; he will be Senate Majority Leader!
Blimp totally unreliable.
Republicans will never recover from Trump. He shit on them and they allowed it.
NO UNITY!
Abbott living in another world.
Is he a veteran? Likely not. Loser, like Trump
No pardon for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in last-minute list
ja ja ja ja ja
Loser.
Shame on the governor for questioning authority.
Semper fi, always loyal to the USA government and not to a person.
The soldiers have discipline. They have respect for the law.
President Joe Biden.
Sweet.
The Walls Are Closing In on Donald Trump
He leaves office with his business empire in decline and his legal troubles growing. Soon, he will lose it altogether.
Go Biden!
Biden won!!!
Graham Sevier for governor!
he'd fuck Abbott at the ballot box!!!
El Paya Jerry wants you to know that after months of supporting Trump he is now embracing the new Democrat president -
"President Biden will provide us with this leadership," McHale wrote today.
Vato sin cesos. Cree que somos mensos, o que? Si va hacer el papel de un cagapalo debe de limpiarze el culo con papel sanitario de Mejico!
La cagas, Paya, la cagas!!!
Biden takes the helm as president: ‘Democracy has prevailed’
Trump cries himself home.
Pobre lloron!
Adios, guey!!!
Todos ya saben que Trump fue un fracaso universal. No le quedo ni madre a ese guey! Lo mandaron a chingar su __________.
Cirol.
It's time to vote him out, traitor.
Trump Departs Vowing,‘We Will Be Back in Some Form’
Yea as a fart!
El Paya Jerry going crazy! -
"Like the Democrats assailing me for every act that I have done to make America great again, God has been the victim of evil men who have used him to promote their demonic agenda."
McHale losing it!
Vato huele su propio culo!
Biden orders an 'immediate pause' on all border wall construction
A federal investigation against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton remains in play after his name was absent Wednesday from a last-minute list of pardons in the waning hours of Donald Trump’s presidency.
The investigation centers on allegations that Republican Paxton committed bribery, abuse of office and other crimes. Paxton’s top deputies reported him to the FBI in September, accusing him of using his position to help an Austin real estate developer.
No, There Won’t Be Unity
On substance, Biden is not going to pursue a consensus, bipartisan agenda, but a progressive one.
Deal with it, Repugnants!!!
You have China, half coco mutt, the dead that voted for JB, and Democratics/Rinos gloating and bashing Donald Trump! There is a secret military covert operation going on that will shock the world. They are letting Biden and his supporters think that Biden is the legitimate president of the United States. He will not be allowed to have the nuclear codes or any top secret information from the pentagon. I’m guessing in about 30 days he will be remove from office and most likely arrested for treason, along with others. Then Trump will be back as our president. When this happens, all trump supporters will be the one gloating and having the last laugh. Hahahaha! Pendejo coco transgender retard mutt is having a good time right now, just wait puto, I’ll have the last laugh and I’ll never stop bashing you about it! Hahahaha!
The Oval Office décor quickly changed after President Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday. Walls featuring figures such as Andrew Jackson were replaced with portraits of Founding Fathers and busts of civil rights leaders Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr.
Among the new displays near a collection of personal photos: a bust of Mexican American farm labor leader Cesar Chavez.

Peace for America. Pray for the USA.
Stop thinking evil things for America.
Governor bent over for Trump was to afraid of being Texan just like Cruz.He needs to be held accountable for his non actions especially opening up the beaches right before memorial weekend and 4th of july in which Texas had a large surge of covid weeks after which led to many texas citizens dying needlessly.
What difference did it make with dissing some Guard members? All they did was stand there and protect the lying cheating old President from chingos of American flags?

You can not have agitators, enemies, troublemakers in your system. You have to be tough and provide justice and peace for all.
Think about our families: some family members are destroying their own families and nothing can be done about it...Family is family.
PS Not liking old people is called: ageism. They are lucky to be old and in good health.

So funny using the virus excuse for doing a virtual inauguration, knowing that no one was going to show up! Not even the dead people who voted for him would've attended! And supposedly he got the most votes in history! Hahahaha! Trump landed in Miami and there thousands of people waiting for him! Hahahaha!
