'They're not Nancy Pelosi's servants': Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has had enough of how the Nat'l Guard has been treated in DC

As you know, more than 25,000 National Guard troops were in Washington, DC for the presidential inauguration.

However, after that was all over, apparently thousands of Guard troops had worn out their usefulness and were treated this way:

Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds today and are now taking their rest breaks outside and in nearby parking garages, after two weeks of sleepless nights protecting the nation’s capitalhttps://t.co/tQK9R6AJMd

MILITARY SOURCE IN DC:
“For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage.
5000 soldiers.
1 power outlet.
One bathroom.
This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has seen enough:

Last night, I ordered our Adjutant General to bring Florida National Guard soldiers home from the National Capital Region.

His full comments include some choice words for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

.@GovRonDeSantis says he ordered the National Guard to come home from the U.S. Capitol because "they're not Nancy Pelosi's servants" and "this is a half-cocked mission at this point and I think the appropriate thing is to bring them home."

Sen. Chuck Schumer said he “will get to the bottom” of how members of the Guard were treated, and it’ll take longer now that his kneejerk reaction, which would be to blame Trump, isn’t possible.

DeSantis is clearly among the nation’s better governors.
