McIver calls Trump’s crime crackdown ‘racist,’ – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This declare:
“When [President Trump says] it’s liberation day. . . those are racist remarks.” — Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), Friday
We say: Trump says he desires to liberate DC residents from the dysfunction that’s plaguing the town; McIver insists this isn’t solely racist, however an attempt to show “white power.”
No matter that the overwhelming majority of crime victims who will benefit from more law and order usually are not white — the truth is, a 2021 report confirmed that a jaw-dropping 94% of murder victims in DC have been black.
Is doing one thing to repair that “racist,” congresswoman?

This stat:
“Restaurants in DC have seen the number of diners plummet more than 25%.” — The New York Times’ Peter Baker, Wednesday
We say: Baker was attempting to show that Trump sending within the National Guard has turned DC into a ghost city.
Except the article Baker referenced was up to date to show that it had in contrast non-Restaurant Week numbers from this yr to the identical time final yr, when the eatery-filling promotion was in full pressure.
Oops! As quickly as this yr’s Restaurant Week began, the numbers spiked back up again.

Another liberal narrative bites the mud.
This suggestion:
“[Democrats] should be united . . . to stop what Trump is doing right now, not just in DC but across the country.” — Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Tuesday
We say: Garcia desires Democrats within the Senate and the House to do “everything we can do” and use “all of our power,” together with shutting down the federal government, to sabotage the president’s agenda — as a result of “stop Trump” is clearly the one rallying cry the celebration has.
Tripling-down on resisting Republicans received’t save Democrats’ tanking ballot numbers or stop voters from fleeing the celebration.
And it definitely received’t help Americans.
But Garcia and his ilk received’t let that stop them.
