Nothing better embodies how out of touch Democrats are than their boasting about how safe they are with their taxpayer-funded security while dismissing most people’s concerns about crime.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on MSNBC to dismiss people’s concerns about crime as just a narrative being pushed by conservatives. “We need to talk about the reality here,” Buttigieg said. “There’s a lot of funding and a lot of energy going into telling a different story, especially on ideological news outlets and online. But the simple facts and the simple reality are right here staring us in the face, including the fact I can safely walk my dog to the Capitol today in a way you couldn’t do when we all got here.”
