Last week, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced the GOP’s Commitment to America. It focuses on reversing the worst policies of the Biden agenda that are causing record inflation, increases in crime, more border crossings, deadly drug overdoses, and dependence on China. For some reason, MSNBC thought of inviting the woman who destroyed Atlanta, former Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, to comment on the exceedingly mainstream plan Republicans proposed.
How disastrous was Lance Bottoms’s tenure? The fact that she decided not to run for a second term in a city Democrats own should give you a clue.
In the wake of the 2020 death of St. George Floyd, Lance Bottoms gave rioters the same “space to destroy” that Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake provided to BLM “protestors” in 2015. While Lance Bottoms did not give explicit permission to riot like Rawling-Blake, her actions made Atlanta significantly more dangerous and violent.
Through a series of public statements and official actions, Lance Bottoms demoralized and limited law enforcement while empathizing with the rioters. The problems started when she punished officers for using force to quell riots downtown. Then she amped up her anti-police rhetoric following the death of Rayshard Brooks. According to an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Brooks resisted arrest, physically assaulted officers, and tried to shoot them with their own tasers. In short, the investigation justified the use of lethal force.
Instead of taking a pause and waiting for the outcome of the investigation, Lance Bottoms fanned the flames by stating publicly that she did not believe the shooting was justified despite being unable to articulate where the officer may have violated procedure. She also issued new orders limiting the tools police had to respond to violence in Atlanta.

What is that other than a sinecure for some Dem partisan hack?
Boy, these black women mayors have weird names. Lance Bottoms, London Breed, Bowser.
i.e. on retainer.
Watching cities burn from the comfort of one’s tv is like watching a fight at Walmart/McDonalds/Popeyes(YouTube). Very entertaining and there’s safety from a distance. Mostly blacks + their white usefulls. It’s the modern day Amos ‘N’ Andy.
Heh heh heh. He said Lance Bottoms.
So do the black leftist “men”.
Bowser. We all know what that means.
