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.

Pennsylvania IS a carry state. Open or concealed. I carry everywhere I go here.

Wouldn’t have made a difference in her case anyway, since she wasn’t carrying nor would she.

You can triple the budget of every police department in America, but it won’t make any difference if you don’t actually put criminals in jail.

More handcuffed cops will accomplish nothing.

Cops are useless if the DA releases criminals. But they know this.

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.

The Democrat answer to every problem is spend more money.

She’s the first one since various Republicans were attacked by various Democrats, and that includes January 6th.

Facing federal charges for carjacking? Normally you get released and 2 punches on your arrest card. 10 punches gets you a free steak knife set....to stab people to death with. Thats only 1 care punch.

I don’t understand this woman claiming she was carjacked. I thought you had to be in the car to get carjacked. Wasn’t she walking to her car when she was robbed of her keys and purse then her car stolen?

I remember Time and Newsweek photos of really young kids in African countries with big automatic weapons. They had to make decisions based on their immature judgment and poor anger control that killed people in the tribal wars for socialist dictators.

Now coming to a city near you in the US.

Comments: "Aged 13 to 16." The Democrat Party Cabal (DPC), including the communist, violent Black Lives Matter terrorist organization, constantly praises and pushes "black culture" on all of America. Well, you have to take the bad with the good, Democrats/BLM. Clearly, when they begin their violent crime at "age ... 13" (and even earlier), such violence is obviously part of the "black culture." Again, gotta take the bad with the good (instead of always deceitfully ignoring the bad). It's part of today's black culture. Listen to rap music (another part of "black culture") that always praises gang culture ("OGs"), demeans all women ("ho's & b*tches"), and constantly bashes the police ("pigs").

Now you have two extremely arrogant, anti-police Democrat politicians (who drive around in Acura & Mercedes SUVs) who got carjacked within hours of each other. LOL. Virtually all Democrat politicians are total idiots (even dumber than the dumbest Democrat of all, Colbert). But we don't have to compare those moron Democrat politicians to the senile, Sleepy Joe because he has no clue what's going on. Even far-left Jimmy Fallon made fun of senile, Sleepy Joe at the Kennedy Center awards show in Washington, DC, saying he was surprised "President Biden" was "still awake." The totally clueless, senile, Sleepy Joe (wearing the hugest mask you'll ever see) laughed himself senile.

With every crime committed by a black American, the Democrat politicians across the country immediately scream, "Systemic racism, slavery, white privilege, institutional racism, Black Lives Matter, structural racism, blah-blah-blah." But the carjackers pull up in their own fancy SUVs to rob other SUV-owners "at gunpoint," so the lying Democrats can't continue idiotically claiming the crime is all the fault of "systemic racism" holding back all black Americans and inanimate "guns" that are somehow firing themselves.

The more that ridiculous Democrat politicians dumb down the laws, the more they're incentivizing criminals to commit even more crime. (File this in your folder labeled, "Duh.")

So to all the Soros-sponsored, far-left, socialist/communist Democrat mayors, DAs, and governors throughout the United States (and all the Democrats & RINOs who mindlessly vote for them), stop being so moronically "woke" and wake the hell up. Idiots.

“American” isn’t a race or a nationality. It’s an ideal. A culture that these foolish children will never know. Thanks to Marxist Democrat leadership.
