What you need to know: This week, Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar was carjacked at gunpoint in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the Capitol. Sadly, this is a common, everyday occurrence for D.C. residents. Carjackings in D.C. are up 109%; Robberies are up 68%; Theft is up 22%; Homicides are up by 38%; The city remains on pace for its deadliest year in two decades. Thankfully, House Republicans successfully blocked a pro-criminal D.C. law to reduce penalties for carjackings and other violent crimes — even as 173 House Democrats backed the law. However, this isn’t just a problem in Washington, D.C. Nine of the top 10 cities with the highest homicide rates are Democrat-run, according to one survey. 27 of the top 30 cities with the highest murder rates are Democrat-run, according to The Heritage Foundation. In 2022, at least nine cities — seven of which are Democrat-run — saw record homicides. In Biden’s first year, at least 12 major U.S. cities — all Democrat-run — set new homicide records. Hate crimes surged in “most” major U.S. cities — the majority of which are Democrat-run — in 2022. Target is closing stores in Democrat-run San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and New York City amid uncontrollable theft. 6 in 10 Americans feel less safe than when Biden took office. Democrats push policies that simply embolden criminals. Biden has failed to stand up to the “defund the police” radicals dominating his party and refused to back law enforcement when it mattered most. The bottom line: Luckily, Republicans are committed to securing the border, reducing crime, supporting law enforcement officers, and protecting public safety.
