It’s only one account in one conservative news outlet, but it was enough to torpedo a host of Democratic arguments attacking President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in the District of Columbia.
Anna Giaritelli, a homeland security reporter for the Washington Examiner, went public this week with the story of how she was sexually assaulted in Washington, D.C., back in 2020.
Her account not only backs up conservative contentions that crime statistics in the district are skewed, but shows that most Americans don’t know how bad it really is.
