This is what happens when Democrats run our cities into the ground. Iris Tao, a brave White House reporter, was robbed at gunpoint and pistol-whipped right in our nation’s capital. The attack happened in broad daylight at 8:30 in the morning just steps from her apartment.
A masked thug pointed a gun at her face and demanded everything she had. When this patriotic journalist refused to give up her phone password to protect her sources, he smashed her in the face with his gun. She screamed for help as blood ran down her cheek while this criminal ran away like a coward.
The police claimed they knew who did it but never bothered to follow up. That tells you everything about how the swamp treats crime when Democrats are in charge. Hardworking Americans get attacked while criminals walk free because liberal prosecutors care more about criminals than victims.
President Trump brought Iris into his cabinet meeting to show America what Democrat policies have done to our capital city. While Joe Biden was president, Washington DC became a war zone where even reporters covering the White House aren’t safe. This is the America that four years of Democrat rule gave us.
Trump wasted no time taking action where Biden failed completely. He declared a public safety emergency and deployed the National Guard to clean up the mess Democrats created. Finally we have a president who puts Americans first instead of coddling criminals and making excuses.
The radical left destroyed law and order in DC just like they did in every city they control. They defunded police, elected soft prosecutors, and turned our streets into hunting grounds for thugs. Working families pay the price while liberal elites hide behind their security details.
This attack on Iris shows why Trump’s tough approach is exactly what America needs. We cannot let criminals terrorize innocent people while Democrats make excuses and blame everyone except the thugs pulling triggers. Law and order must come back to our cities.
Trump is showing real leadership by taking swift action to protect Americans in DC. He knows that when criminals face real consequences, crime drops fast. It’s time to stop babying thugs and start protecting the good people who make America great.
