Gov. Abbott Denounces "Vetting" Of #Texas National Guard In DC

[#TexasPolitics365] 


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is criticizing Federal officials 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 a link to a Paywalled article from The Washington Post, Abbott called the joint effort by the Pentagon and FBI "offensive." 

"This is the most offensive thing I've ever heard. No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard. @TexasGuard. I authorized more than 1,000 to go to DC. I'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this."
