MSNBC Morning Joe anchor Joe Scarborough expressed frustration Wednesday that Democrats who privately hold concerns about Washington, D.C., crime are simultaneously speaking out against President Donald Trump’s move to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department and mobilize the district’s National Guard.

Scarborough said he thinks crime has been a problem in the district since he first moved to it 32 years ago.
