Lulu Garcia-Navarro: It’s Surprising That Trump Wants Federal Gov’t Involved in Dealing with Crime in D.C. When He Says They’re Bad at Everything

EXCERPT:

GARCIA-NAVARRO: “And then the last thing I‘ll say is, I‘m surprised by all this because I think what President Trump has kept on saying is that the federal government is bad at everything and it needs to be sort of defunded and everyone needs to be fired. And so suddenly it needs to actually intervene in how a city is run? This is really the antithesis of anything any Republican has ever stood for before. So, again, Donald Trump sort of mixing up some of his messaging."

CORNISH: "But we hear him saying lots of times, like with L.A. and the riots there, like, he's prone to saying, 'We should get involved here if we think a city can't handle something.'"

GARCIA-NAVARRO: "No, no, he wants to put military in lots of different cities across America, but there is a sort of fundamental disconnect between his bigger policies about federal government and when it should get involved, and then wanting to actually put military on the streets of American cities."
