There’s a disturbing pattern in America’s Democrat-run cities. The worse things get, the bigger the lies become. Sound familiar? From San Francisco to Chicago, liberal mayors keep telling us everything’s fine while their cities fall apart. They actually think we’re too stupid to notice.
This disconnect between leadership and reality? It got even worse this week. One prominent Democrat mayor had the nerve to claim her crime-infested city was basically paradise. The timing couldn’t have been worse. Or more revealing about how these people operate.
Washington D.C.’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser held a press conference Monday claiming violent crime in the nation’s capital is at a “30-year low.” (Are we living on the same planet?) Here’s the kicker – the White House immediately called her out. Turns out D.C. has the fourth-highest homicide rate in the nation. Nearly six times higher than New York City. But sure, Mayor Bowser, tell us more about your crime-fighting success.
The Ugly Truth on DC Streets
Let me tell you what’s really happening in our nation’s capital. Daily Caller editor John Loftus shared his experiences living there. Get this – during his morning commute, he saw a vagrant defecating on the sidewalk. In broad daylight. I kid you not.
His car got broken into while he was out of town. Windows smashed. Everything ransacked. But wait, it gets better (or worse). When he reported vagrants drinking and urinating next to a public library – with moms and kids walking by – you know what the cops did?
From ‘Daily Caller’:
One Sunday afternoon, I was leaving the Shaw Neighborhood Library and saw a group of vagrants sitting against the library’s wall, slinging a 30-rack of Modelo… I knocked on their window. Sure, we’ll check it out. The cops drove down the street, slowed down as they passed the library, and then kept driving, as if nothing had happened.
Seriously? That’s it? Your tax dollars at work, people. This stuff happens every single day in a city where murder rates are through the roof. But somehow that equals a “30-year low” in Bowser’s fantasy world.
Even the Cops Can’t Keep Their Story Straight
Here’s where it gets even crazier. There’s an actual investigation into a D.C. police commander for allegedly faking crime statistics. The police union says the department’s been cooking the books to make crime look lower. Gee, I wonder why Bowser thinks crime is down?
Think about that. They can’t stop the crime. So they just lie about it instead. This is what passes for leadership in Democrat cities.
Trump Takes Action
President Trump’s response was swift and necessary. He invoked the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Deployed the National Guard. Put the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. This wasn’t government overreach. This was an adult stepping in when local leaders completely failed.
Bowser’s reaction? Predictable as always. She called it “unsettling and unprecedented.” Then she started whining about D.C. statehood. (Because that’ll fix the crime problem, right?) She even claimed Trump’s view was based on his “COVID-era experience.” Lady, people are getting carjacked and murdered TODAY. What COVID-era?
This isn’t just about one city or one mayor. It’s about Democrat leaders everywhere who’ve forgotten job one: keeping citizens safe. When officials care more about politics than public safety? When they lie to our faces about the violence we see daily? They shouldn’t be in charge. Period.
Trump’s intervention in D.C. sends a clear message to other Democrat-run cities. Clean up your act. Or someone else will do it for you. And honestly? It’s about time.

• Police ignore citizen reports while officials allegedly falsify crime statistics
• Trump deploys National Guard after local Democrats fail basic safety duties
