A media talking head inadvertently busted the narrative put forth by her bosses and the Democratic Party by revealing some disturbing experiences with DC crime, including her own.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, President Trump today invoked Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to place Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department under “direct federal control” and authorizing the Secretary of Defense to deploy National Guard troops in Washington, DC. Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act allows the President to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department under “special conditions of an emergency nature.”
He also signed a Presidential memorandum directing the Secretary of Defense to utilize National Guard troops to clean up DC and authorizing state governors to use their National Guard troops at home. “We will bring in the military if needed,” Trump told reporters.
This announcement comes as crime in DC has reached unprecedented levels. Local officials, though, have been cooking the books to make it seem like things are not out of control, and the media is happily spreading garbage stats like violent crime being at a 30-year low in DC.
