Joe Biden called Democratic Representative Mary Gay Scanlon after she was carjacked in Philadelphia on Wednesday as its revealed the robbers ranged in age from 13-19.

'Is the president taking crime in big cities more seriously now that a Democratic member of Congress, Mary Gay Scanlon, has been carjacked at gunpoint?' Fox News' Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki at Thursday's briefing.

'Let me first say that we're relieved that she was not injured,' Psaki replied. 'And the president called her and spoke with her this morning, as well.'

'It is absolutely unacceptable for any American, whether they're a member of Congress or not, to be victimized by crime like that,' she added.

Josiah Brown, 19, from the president's home town of Wilmington, Delaware is expected to face federal charges in Scanlon's carjacking, the Delaware State Police said Thursday.

Three of the other teen carjackers were boys ages 13 and 16 and a girl aged 14. They were all charged in Delaware with receiving stolen property and were each released to their guardians on $1,500 unsecured bond.

The fifth was a 15-year-old boy charged with receiving stolen property, resisting arrest and two counts of criminal mischief, according to police. He was taken to the New Castle County Detention Center on $3,500 bond.

Never mind about education and accountability.

[Celerity]

It’s gotta be awesome being an elite.

[Texas Fossil]

Minors committing Armed Robbery.

Still More #ComDem_Insanity!

[MtnClimber]

Did they mention the race of the carjackers? Did Biden blame all of that ummm race like he does with white people?

[Trump.Deplorable]

Funny how the cops only do there jobs when their boss’s car gets car jacked, only ol smoe would have been told it was gone and already on container ship to the middle east, pick up the report next week.... blah blah blah

[I want the USA back]

Boys, 13 and 16, and girl, 14, arrested for 'carjacking Democratic Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon at gunpoint' are released back to their parents

Given it is a dem from Phila, was she one of the reduce the copper budgets? If so, why is slow joe sending more money to the City.

Released to their parents? Car jacking at gun point?? Should have used the gun and gave them a cranium donut hole. Victims have not rights in the era of restorative justice. I'd kill the SOBs as anyone doing this at that age is not going to be anything but trouble going forward.

[The Great RJ]

Delicious irony. However these feral kids may soon be meeting someone armed and who will have no compunction about protecting themselves. These punks know as juveniles the justice system will give them a slap on the wrist. Perhaps if they see others simply shot for this stupid crime they might think twice, but I have my doubts

[Sarcazmo]

I wonder where they got the gun? I’m sure the police are tracking down their parents as we speak.

Mary Gay Scanlon (born August 30, 1959) is an American attorney and politician. She is a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Pennsylvania's 5th congressional district, since being sworn into office on January 3, 2019. The district is based in Delaware County, a mostly suburban county, and also includes parts of South and Southwest Philadelphia and small portions of Chester and Montgomery counties. Scanlon spent the final two months of 2018 as the member for Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. She was elected to both positions on November 6, 2018. That day, she ran in a special election in the old 7th to serve out the term of her predecessor, Pat Meehan, and in a regular election for a full two-year term in the new 5th. She was sworn in as the member for the 7th on November 13, 2018, and transferred to the 5th on January 3, 2019. Scanlon is a member of the Democratic Party.

Bizarre. I've heard of people voting twice, but one person running twice in the same election in two districts in different parts of the state is a new one for me.

I’m totally cool with these kids going Scott-free.
The Rep deserves the consequences of her principles

Why promise to give more money to cops? When the thugs are just released back onto the streets, more money isn’t going to make any difference. Notice the thugs are getting younger and younger. These little punks aren’t going to change. They will just be committing another crime tomorrow.
