Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon was the victim of a carjacking in Philadelphia's FDR Park on Wednesday afternoon.

She had her car, purse, wallet and phone stolen but was not injured, her office confirmed.

Scanlon, 62, was walking to her parked vehicle and was approached by two men driving a dark-colored SUV, WPVI reported.

They demanded her keys and then fled in her 2017 Acura MDX with license plate LKG-8893.

The crime comes one day after Illinois State Senator Kimberly Lightford, 53, and her husband, Eric McKennie, were also carjacked on Tuesday night in a suburb 20 minutes outside of Chicago.

The brazen attack also came after Philadelphia's woke District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claimed there is not a 'crisis of lawlessness' - despite robberies skyrocketing by 27 per cent since 2020 and murders breaking an all-time record this year.

No kidding, Dick Tracy. Where'd you park your squad car?

You don't know Chicago, or Cook County, do you?

I grew up there. Forest View Park used to be Waldheim. Family is buried there. It used to be a lot safer. Anyone from the area would know the sarcasm.
