Pirro: We have been in constant contact with their families and have provided them with every resource needed during this difficult time. The two National Guardsmen that we’re talking about are Sarah Beckstrom, who is 20 years old, and Andrew Wolfe, who is 24 years old. They were uniformed members of the West Virginia National Guard, and they were in DC to keep DC safe, pursuant to President Trump’s executive order to Make DC Safe and Beautiful. They answered the call, they took the charge, they volunteered. They put their lives on the line for people they don’t even know, and that, unfortunately, is becoming a reality more and more for the members of law enforcement.

Here is Senator Slotkin just a few days ago claiming the National Guard was about to start shooting at American civilians.
An insane and dangerous lie.
Now, two troops were shot in Washington, D.C.
