Iris Tao, a 26-year-old White House reporter for Epoch Times sister outlet NTD revealed in a story on Wednesday that she, like many others, was a victim of a horrific, violent robbery in Washington, DC.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump declared a “public safety emergency,” citing high crime and unsafe streets in the nation’s capital, and federalized the DC police force last week. He further authorized the use of National Guard troops and deployed federal agents across the city to tackle the rampant crime, homelessness, and illegal immigration crises.
The then-24-year-old Iris Tao said the Trump Administration’s federal takeover and crackdown on crime in DC reminded her of the traumatizing morning in 2022, when she was violently mugged outside of her apartment at 8:30 in the morning. She was beaten and robbed by a masked man that morning.
But if you ask leftists and local Democratic leaders, they’ll say everything is ok now because violent crime in 2024 hit a 30-year low. However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, this data appears to have been falsified and manipulated at the direction of Metropolitan Police commander Michael Pulliam, an allegation which is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice. It has been alleged that many crimes go unreported, and serious felony reports have often been downgraded to make it appear that violent crimes and felonies are less frequent.
No murders in DC for 10 days now that Trump has created law and order
