This week, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex) had his car stolen from him at gunpoint while he was driving in Washington, DC. The crime took place at 9:30 pm. The congressman was unhurt, but unnerved by the experience.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger vowed "to do whatever it takes to see that this public servant's vehicle and belongings are recovered as quickly as possible. Our investigators are focused, determined and working around the clock." The congressman's car, cell phone, and wallet were recovered within two hours of the theft.
Cuellar observed that "there is an immigration crisis in my Texas border district. But I would say that when you look at the numbers of murders, rape, and assaults at the border — let's say in Laredo, Texas — Washington is about two or three times more dangerous."
While Cuellar cited his experience as further support for law enforcement, President Biden's press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Republicans for the carjacking, saying "not one Republican voted for the President's American Rescue Plan. They are to blame for the rising crime across America."
Despite the lack of GOP votes for this plan, the Democrat majority enacted this legislation. It wasn't prevented from becoming the law of the land. Yet, even with this supposed remedy in-hand, crime in America's biggest cities has risen. In DC, for example, carjackings are up by more than 100% since the law's enactment.

Good. I love it when Democrats have to take the medicine they prescribe for everyone else. Maybe the next will get shot.
That city government is completely controlled by libtards
This seems pretty typical
The black boys who carjacked him thought he was Henry Crueller and they wanted his family to pay a ransom in donuts.
