Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a powerful statement Wednesday when they visited our brave National Guard troops at Union Station in Washington D.C. These American heroes are part of President Trump’s bold federal takeover to finally clean up the crime-infested capital. While liberal politicians failed for years, Trump took action in just nine days to restore law and order to our nation’s most important city.
The results speak for themselves and prove conservative policies work. Since Trump deployed federal forces, violent crime has dropped by an incredible 35 percent and robberies have plummeted by over 50 percent. This is what happens when you have leaders with backbone instead of weak Democrats who let criminals run wild in our streets.
Vance and Hegseth bought lunch for our guardsmen at the station’s Shake Shack, showing real appreciation for their service. The Vice President reminded everyone that Union Station should be a monument to American greatness, not a playground for criminals and vagrants. This is exactly the kind of leadership working families have been begging for after years of liberal mismanagement.
Of course, the usual suspects showed up to cause trouble during this patriotic display of support for our troops. Angry leftist protesters screamed and booed at our leaders, chanting anti-American slogans like “Free DC.” These radical agitators hate the idea that regular Americans should feel safe in their own communities.
Vance and Miller handled these communist troublemakers perfectly by calling them exactly what they are. The protesters proved once again that the radical left opposes basic law and order in America. While conservatives support our brave men and women in uniform, liberals side with criminals and chaos in our streets.
The Vice President shared his own frightening experience at Union Station from just a couple years ago when violent vagrants screamed at his family. This personal story shows how far our capital had fallen under Democrat control and why federal intervention was desperately needed. No American family should fear walking through a train station in their own country’s capital.
These so-called protesters represent everything wrong with the modern left wing movement in America. They hate police, they hate our military, and they hate anyone who stands up for basic safety and order. Their angry outbursts only prove that Trump’s tough approach is working and driving the right people absolutely crazy.
This visit sends a clear message that the Trump administration will not back down from restoring American greatness to Washington D.C. Our National Guard heroes deserve our full support as they work to make the capital safe for all Americans. Real patriots understand that law and order must come first before we can have the prosperous and peaceful communities we all deserve.
