Last year the murder rate in Washington D.C. was nearly double the rate in Bogota and triple the rate in Mexico City. Because they hate Trump more than they hate violent crime, the excuses and resistance to Trump stepping in is astounding. "So far in 2025 the numbers are down!" In my imagination, I keep hearing Margaret Brennan's interview with J.D. Vance, Margaret arguing that the Venezuelan gangs are only controlling a couple of apartment complexes in Colorado. J.D. said something like, "Do you hear yourself, Margaret?" Every excuse I hear for D.C., I have to admit that I can't think of anything better than, "Do you hear yourself?" "Crime is down in D.C., it's barely double the murder rate in Mexico City this year! Barely Double!"
The progressive left has dealing with crime all wrong. As they do with economic issues, they focus on outcomes. Too many in jail. Too many convictions. Unfair policing policies and unjust prosecutions.
That stuff ain't working. Why? Because it doesn't work. All I hear is resistance, excuses, and bullshit explanations. Yes, bullshit explanations. If you're one of them parroting these same bullshit explanation now that, heaven forbid, Trump is stepping in, I have to ask, "Do you hear yourself?"
