This narrative is going to get two in the chest and one in the head because it’s flat-out untrue. The Democrats are falling into the same trap that gave them fits in 2024: telling people that what they’re seeing on the regular in DC regarding crime isn’t happening. The Democratic narrative regarding Trump federalizing DC’s police force and deploying the National Guard has been ‘as expected.’ Chuck Schumer's take is Marie Antoinette on steroids: you have a security detail, sir.
Progressives are going to eat these people alive https://t.co/7fXQEe9mTq

This is exactly what the democrats did during the election - and a reason why they lost and Trump overwhelming won. They told Americans over and over things they saw and experienced in their own communities weren’t happening.

Chuck Schumer has had a personal taxpayer funded security detail for years that is HEAVILY ARMED.

He drives everywhere in a police motorcade.
NO WONDER HE FEELS SAFE IN DC.
If he didn’t feel safe, that would REALLY be a problem. https://t.co/3Qc5yhAndE
PHILLY DA: "President Trump doesn't like public safety. He's a convicted criminal himself."

The beauty is that no one is listening. No one cares—you guys tried this ‘he’s a dictator’ line. It didn’t work. And now, you’re defending the city’s state of decrepitude. Crime is a problem in the capital, even Democrats acknowledge it, which makes the full-court press on this ‘there’s no crime emergency’ line laughably ineffective. To make things more comical, some Democrats have even tried to make January 6 a thing in their talking points. Again, no one cares. Residents want this, the people want it—Democrats would rather have gangs rule.

Even CNN can’t hide DC’s terrible public safety track record:
BRUTAL question from CNN’s @Kasie Hunt to Democrat D.C. AG Brian Schwalb: “So let's talk about D.C. residents for a second, because these headlines — you know, and I was a resident of D.C. for over 20 years. I've lived in all but three D.C. Wards, okay?

As some noted, the only people who are vociferously against Trump’s D.C. public safety initiative are rich, white liberals.
I’ve noticed that white liberals want to pretend crime isn’t bad and black people in DC seem to be thankful that something might be done about the crime in DC. https://t.co/gO3WxtTUHi

We’re cleaning up your mess, Democrats. Your approach to things is simply not in keeping with what people want. There’s more to life than ranting about Donald Trump. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
