Eric Swalwell’s Attack on Trump Backfires as DC Crime Plummets
Daily Fetched ^ | August 22, 2025 | Jason Walsh

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s latest attack on President Donald Trump has backfired after he shared a post on X, ripping the president for his federal takeover of Washington, D.C., police and the deployment of National Guard troops.

“It’s been 10 days since Trump militarized DC. Crime is on the rise. Trump owns it,” the post reads.

But despite his claims, video clips have been circulating showing law enforcement taking criminals off the streets in large numbers, with many of them being illegal aliens, according to Twitchy.

The report also took a swipe at Swalwell, reminding him that just because arrest numbers spike doesn’t mean crime is going up.

The outlet further pointed out what the last week has looked like.

🚨 MUST WATCH: "DRAMATIC REDUCTIONS IN CRIME" in D.C.

"For the first time in a long time, D.C. has gone 7 days without a homicide — and that's not all... Carjackings are down 83%. Robberies are down 46%. Car thefts, down 21% — and overall violent crime is down 22%" pic.twitter.com/UT3Zviyu6e— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) August 21, 2025

DC has been without a single murder for an entire week, which has not happened since March, according to Fox News.

For comparison, when Rudy Giuliani was in his first term as mayor of New York City, there was a 60 percent drop in the murder rate, followed by a 56 percent drop in overall violent crime, all within a two-year span.

One of the moves that contributed most to his success was that he immediately shut down adult movie theaters located in Times Square.

This move reduced drugs, prostitution, and violence in the area.

Many are now asking why the kind of steps being taken following the federal government’s intervention weren’t tried by blue cities sooner.

The same strategy used in New York back in the early 1990s is working just as well in DC today, according to Fox columnist David Marcus.

Marcus points out that part of the reason these actions weren’t taken sooner was due to liberal backlash to the policies when they were first implemented.

Liberals pushed for cashless bail, called for reduced police forces, and supported George Soros-funded district attorneys, which led to the loss of many gains in the battle against crime, he wrote.

Many Trump supporters now wonder if other major cities in the country will take similar measures on their own to try and lower crime rates.

For those up for re-election in those areas, it seems like a smart choice.

One must always remember that a cardinal tactic of Marxist is to sow social disorder and violence. Read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”

I’m afraid the crime decrease is a temporary stand down ordered by generalissimo obama.

He’ll start the crime wave later.

The voters need to become conservatives to vote strong Democrats out of office.

In that absence, they hearts all want the crime to happen because those committing it need to be made whole for all the problems they must have had in their lives. A crime, to them, is something committed to incrementally right a wrong and is only performed when necessary and wholesome.

I want all crime to only happen to these people. I believe these masocists deserve these sadists and I want them to feel the extremes sadism can go on them until they cry “uncle” and change their ways for good.

That anyone who did not vote this way has crime happen to them, I want all of them to be restored as fully as possible and to never again have crime impact their lives.

The only reason crime would be on the rise is that Swallwell isn’t in jail.

It’s a crime how the media let’s him lie with impunity

Put your money where your mouth is, Swalwell. Put on a dinner suit, leave your security detail behind, and set out at 7PM for a leisurely walk around DC until 5AM tomorrow morning. I’m wondering how long you last before running inside a building or calling 911.

Trump doesn’t fight ‘forever’ wars with half ass efforts either.

When citizens of democrat hellhole cities understand how wonderful it feels to be able to leave their homes after dark - they’ll never go back to being prisoners in their own homes. Prisoners so criminals and lowlifes can control the streets with the help of white liberal elites... and other idiots
