For years, Democrats have allowed crime to flourish in cities throughout the country. Once-grand metropolises such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia have succumbed to the Left’s legislative lawlessness, turning the country’s great beacons of urban living into slums with a booming criminal underworld. Washington, D.C., is no exception, as the nation’s capital is rife with violent crime, and has been for quite some time.
Finally, President Donald Trump decided to do something about it and called in the National Guard to help Washington’s law enforcement units combat the city’s rampant violent crime. Democrats blasted Trump for this, of course. In their warped worlds, having people in the country’s biggest cities victimized by brutal criminal overlords is part of their ideological, left-wing utopia. They cited falling crime rates over the last year and called Trump’s move excessive; they labeled it authoritarian and claimed it wouldn’t accomplish anything.
