Fmr. Clinton Spox: ‘Many of Us in D.C Do Not Feel Like’ Trump’s Making Us Safer

EXCERPT:

FINNEY: “Donald Trump always wants to make it about tough on crime and this performative -- putting the National Guard on the streets. Many of us in D.C. do not feel like that's actually making us safer. For 1) they're not actually going to the places where crime is the worst. And if you look at cities like Baltimore, like Chicago, they're not just blue cities. They're also sanctuary cities and they're also all cities run by black mayors and have large black and Latino populations. And in each of those places they've engaged in comprehensive criminal measures to reduce crime, to do -- get guns off the streets. To do more cops programs and community policing -- really similar to the conversation, frankly, we were having after the murder of George Floyd when we really were having a national conversation about what is smart on crime.”
