President Trump is federalizing the DC police and deploying roughly 800 National Guard troops to address violent crime. Attorney General Pam Bondi will take command of the D.C. police.

In today’s presser, she highlighted the fact that crime is down. However, it is still bad and this is our nation’s capital. It is a disgrace. Bowser used this opportunity to demand they be allowed to become a state with absolutely none of the requirements to become one. It’s also unconstitutional.
Over the weekend, she said she knows they need more help and she didn’t make the issue about race at that time.

Bowser doesn’t think this is legal, but the way he is using them is legal. We have military in the New York subways.

If crime is down so DC is so safe then Bowser and the city council members need to take Tom Homan’s challenge and walk the streets at night and without security protection.
After all her bragging about crime going down, we find out they’ve been cooking the books. SURPRISE!
