The conversation that will never take place...

Nonexistent reporter: Congresswoman, there are entire communities that are being held hostage by criminal elements. They are unable to go to a store without the clerk in a bullet proof cage. Their movements are monitored by cameras in the stores and in the streets. Children are unable to play in front of their homes, much less at a park, because of the violence that plagues their community.

If your plan doesn't address the fundamental rights of those communities to enjoy their homes, their parks, their streets, then why should any of them ever support you?

Vote for me, I'll make sure you have to huddle behind bulletproof walls. I'll decriminalize most things to make it easier for a young gangster to escalate into murder. And I'll be fine, because I have my safe neighborhood and personal security, while I cry over the difficulty in owning two homes on JUST a couple hundred grand a year.

Communities of color are under siege, murder rates are horrific, assaults are up, and all the while, you're saying don't call the cops because some criminal might get hurt when they attack the police. Explain your plan as if you actually have to live in the community. Then explain why you don't, both in your district and in the District of Columbia. Why do you claim to represent poor people but choose not to live with them?

Vote for me, I’ll make sure you have to huddle behind bulletproof walls. Walls are not allowed.
