AOC, Madison Cawthorn, Other Lawmakers Offer National Guard Resting Space in Their Offices On 1/22/21 at 2:47 PM EST Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Madison Cawthorn and several other lawmakers offered their offices as resting spaces for National Guardsmen after they were reportedly moved from the U.S. Capitol into a nearby parking garage. Photos and videos that circulated across social media on Thursday show members of the Guard lying on the floors of the garage. Over 25,000 members of the Guard were deployed to Washington, D.C., following the January 6 riot at the Capitol. They were also brought in for increased security at President Joe Biden's inauguration.
