Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy, the former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, joined “Hannity” Tuesday to discuss the ongoing anti-police protest in Seattle and the conversation surrounding law enforcement reform.
“I think that the police in Seattle actually retreated. They surrendered, right? They abandoned … the police precinct,” Gowdy told host Sean Hannity in reaction to claims that the denizens of the “Capitol Hill Organized Protest” were peaceful. “So if these protesters are really peaceful, I don’t know why the police felt that they were in danger or feared for their safety and had to retreat.
“The way I look at the world, there are mostly good cops and a few bad,” Gowdy went on. “There may be many peaceful protesters, but a few bad. I think we’re better off in society if we individualize it. If you’re going to destroy other people’s property and break laws, then you should be arrested. I don’t care what park you’re in. I don’t care what city you’re in.” […]
“Most crime is state [or] local. The feds don’t get involved in 99 percent of crime. So I think the president should use federal power only if interstate commerce is impacted,” Gowdy said. “Only if the ability to travel from state to state is impacted. Otherwise, it’s a Washington problem. They can fix it.” …

For once Trey Gowdy is right, they made the soup, let them stew in it.
I’m with Gowdy here. Seattle and Washington made their bed. Let them lie in it.
for once, I think I agree with Pink Shirt, the Weirdo. Let them burn in the fire of their own making.
That’s not what he appears to have said, though. He appears to have confidence that they can indeed fix it to the satisfaction of normal Americans, and intend to.
He’s right. They want POTUS to respond to have something to be hysterical about. Let this dumb bitch Mayor deal with it. The people living in that area or owning a businesses complaining about it, will vote for Biden and for this mayor again.
Yup. Let ‘er go. Saw some dude on video strolling around with what looked like an AK variant with a 50 rd mag. Why would he need that in a peaceful YOUdope-Yeehaw?
As soon as just one "outside agitator" aka Antifa/BlackBloc/RCP/BLM/ISIS crosses a state line it becomes a Federal issue.
Pinhead speaks.
I don’t think President Trump has commented on this for a few days now. I think he is going to let Seattle cook for awhile. I sure hope so.
We’ll see what happens on July 4 when groups show up to remove the barriers.

Boy, has Hannity changed.
His show is a platform for Lindsey Graham and RINOs to spew.
He doesn’t ask a single hard question.
Keeping Lindsey and Paul Ryan rich.

He is right. They got themselves into it. They can get themselves out of it. They voted the bastards into political Office. They supported the sons of bitches for years up to this. Hell with them. Let then cry on somebody’s shoulder that cares. Probably yours.
No they can’t “fix” it! The won’t fix it! They will just let it grow out of control and say it’s the summer of love! But I agree that we should just let them drown in their own crap!
Gowdy has been very adept at accomplishing nothing.
‘
But Gowdy is for the FBi Investigating conspiracy theories by Idiots about suicides ruled so by different Medical Examiners.
That’s a State’s matter, “Trey.”

I don’t agree, this is an insurrection and should be put down.
There’s just one itsy bitsy teenie weanie problem with that.
You allow it once on your soil, and people feel free to do
it other places. And with this SCOTUS, God knows what they
would deem an accepted practice, thus invalidating any
actions taken down the road.
This needs to be taken down hard. And I’d take a mayor
and a governor with them.
The tell the others, if you violate federal law, you’ll
spend a long spell behind bars.
LOL, then I suppose the proof will be forthcoming. These days, it’s hard to tell what Pink Shirt Weirdo means. Maybe he thinks his fellow perverts can run things. It’s not like weirdos haven’t tried before and failed. History is against them ... by quite a lot.
Ole deep stater Trey Gowdy speakith. Trump will do what he says he’s going to do.
