D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser left the District for Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday after President Donald Trump federalized the police department.

A spokesperson for the mayor said she had a family obligation, had to pick up her daughter and will return on Friday.

Bowser gave more details about that obligation later Thursday after Trump posted a screenshot of reporting by News4's Mark Segraves about her leaving town.

"This week, I cancelled a scheduled family trip to lead our city's crisis management efforts. I also made the more difficult decision to not disrupt my daughter's camp plans. I needed to get to her on Wednesday after work and bring her home, which I will do tomorrow," Bowser said on X.

"I am in constant contact with my senior team and have been in constant consultation with our partners throughout a short swing out of the District," she said.

Report her as an illegal immigrant and the locals we have her deported quicker than you can say “busload from Texas”.

Summer camp on Martha’s Vineyard? More like Leftists Woke Training Camp. Our next crop of political blue.

How about a sweep of Martha's Vineyard to arrest people who employ illegals as household help?

Just a fantasy, but it would sure be nice.

First, the fact that she vacations in Martha’s Vineyard is revealing by it self.

I’m guessing that if these cities, counties and states were being run properly, without all the ongoing issues, we wouldn’t care less where they vacationed . . .

She's actually pretty nice looking

But she got a ugly brain.

“This week, I cancelled a scheduled family trip to lead our city’s crisis management efforts. “

What a joke. DC is better off when that DEI poseur is NOT leading crisis management efforts — or anything else.

Yeah! Take TWO weeks, BowWowser.

RE: said she had a family obligation...Meeting with the head of the family.

Obama:
I understand. You found paradise in America, had a good trade, made a good living. The police protected you; and there were Soros rigged courts of law. And you didn’t need a friend of me.
But uh, now you come to me and you say — “Barack Obama, give me woke justice.” — But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you uh ask me to do murder, for money.”

She has an adopted daughter that she probably let stay at some rich Dim’s place for a few weeks.

I have to admit that after she got her kid, she seemed more amenable to tougher stances on crime, although by then, she had already allowed defunding of cops, lower bail and punishments, and a juvenile delinquent permission law.

She still hasn’t figured out the money thing, but math is hard. She’s got big deficits coming, now that the COVID and Biden cash are gone, but she managed to find half a billion dollars to keep the Wizards and Capitals there and another billion to get the Commanders back in DC.

She’s about as good a DC mayor as can be expected, I guess.
