General Berger Rebukes Pelosi<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

By M. Dowling<\/a> -January 14, 20218<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General David H. Berger, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps., refused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s request to use the Corps. to safeguard Biden\u2019s Jan. 20 inauguration from Trump supporters and interventionists, according to realrawnews<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is after she tried to arrange a military<\/a> coup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Pentagon source speaking under promise of anonymity told Real Raw News that Pelosi contacted Gen. Berger late Monday night, and she wanted him to commit 5,000 troops to help ensure a peaceful transition of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is superceding the President here if this report is accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen. Berger, their source said, didn\u2019t understand why Pelosi needed additional soldiers. They already have 15,000 National Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this for show?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelosi said she wanted \u201cbattle ready\u201d reinforcements because \u201cradicalized Trump supporters and kooky Qanon conspiracy people\u201d were about to converge on D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pressed him and whatever she said didn\u2019t sit well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t lecture me on patriotism, Madam Speaker. I\u2019ve served this country with distinction for 40 years. I\u2019ve spilled blood for our nation. What have you, a self-serving elected official, done for your country?\u201d Gen. Berger said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelosi further enraged him by saying he was answerable to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI answer only to the president, and as I understand it, Donald J. Trump is still president and commander-in-chief. I abide in the Constitution as it was written, not your interpretation of it,\u201d Gen. Berger admonished Pelosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen her intimidation tactic failed to sway Gen. Berger, Pelosi tried a different tactic: Begging and flattery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelosi claimed that the National Guard\u2019s \u201cweekend warriors\u201d were ill-prepared to repel an army of \u201cmad Trumpists.\u201d Battle-hardened marines, however, were more capable of defeating \u201crabble rousers,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have the best trained soldiers in the world, and America needs them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen. Berger said the only way Marines would be deployed, he told her, was if President Trump himself issued that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you want us to help combat his supporters, I suggest you get him on the phone and tell him that. If he orders me to, I will. Otherwise, I suggest you listen really hard to the words escaping your cracked, poisonous lips; they\u2019re tantamount to treason. We don\u2019t work for you,\u201d Gen. Berger allegedly told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is treasonous trying to go over the President. Imagine if the situation was reversed.
