Dems got their woke-up call with Lori Lightfoot’s loss

Heart be still, there are signs Democrats are finally getting the message that voters are sick to death of crime. Make that some Democrats.

A brouhaha is brewing on at least three fronts, and the good news is that the White House is on the right side this time.

President Biden stunned many in his own party by supporting a Republican-led House bill to overrule a nutty plan in Washington, DC, to reduce penalties for homicides, carjacking, and other violent crimes in the nation’s capital.

Biden’s move, which was a flip-flop from an earlier position, came despite his support for home rule and statehood for DC.

Trying to square that circle, the White House noted that the move to lighter sentences was opposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser but passed over her veto by the city council.

“He believes in keeping the 700,000 residents in DC safe. And so he’s taking that action because it’s coming to him,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued Friday.

Unless you’re a sucker for claims of coincidence, you know the shifting political sands had everything to do with Biden’s about-face.
