Project Lincoln's Fred Wellman asks if the head of the DC Nat. Guard will side with insurrectionists

[Mrs. Overall]

It's worth reading Wellman's entire Twitter thread as he gives many reasons to be concerned about Maj. Hegseth.

My son-in-law has been mobilized with the VA Guard. He could end up attached to MAJ Pete Hegseth of the DC Guard. I want to know if Pete is with the insurrectionists or not. This isn't a joke. I'm being completely serious. Is MAJOR Hegseth siding with the violent mob or my kid?

“When you talk to Trump supporters, there is a feeling that for the most part, this was a protest that got out of hand,” Pete Hegseth said while describing a seditious riot that left five dead

2. It was a planned coup disguised as a protest,

not a protest that went wrong. The more evidence that comes out proves this. They seemed to have details of the layout and came prepared with helmets, vests, weapons, bear spray, zip ties etc and even constructed a gallows. Clearly they prepared to take and execute hostages, with the intent of derailing the peaceful transfer of power.

We should be very concerned about any MAGA apologists in the military - as it is that mindset that likely led to the police going easy on them, as well as outright complicity.
