Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax that people across the country are cheering President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and wondering when he might do the same for their cities.
“One thing that President Trump has done by focusing on crime here in D.C. is to give voice to so many people who have faced crime, whether it is muggings, rape, knowing that people have had cars jacked, knowing that there have been smash and grabs in stores when they were in those stores shopping,” the Tennessee Republican told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” Thursday. “It’s really quite amazing to me, the number of people that have stepped up to say, let me tell you what happened to me or to my friend or someone that they know.
“People have applauded the president bringing an emphasis to this and we know now even the mayor of D.C. and some of the city council are saying bringing the National Guard in was the right thing to do because it helped to reduce crime and it also allowed the police force to branch out and do more work in apprehending these criminals,” she said.
