D.C. Crime Plummets While Dems Protect Crooked House Member

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Washington, D.C.’s sharply declining crime numbers, troubling Trump administration rhetoric on guns, and House Democrats refusing to expel a colleague facing serious corruption charges.First, they welcome new data showing January crime rates in the nation’s capital are significantly lower than a year ago across most major categories. Jim and Greg dig into how much credit belongs to the temporary federalization of the D.C. police force and deployment of the National Guard, and how much may be due to other factors.Next, they push back on comments from U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, who warned that anyone bringing a gun into D.C. is going to jail. While Pirro later clarified that firearms must be registered with the city. Jim and Greg still find that problematic and the wrong focus of efforts to curb crime.Finally, they react as House Democrats refuse to expel Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is charged with stealing federal disaster relief funds to finance her campaign. Even after a blistering House Ethics Committee report, Democrats insist they won’t act unless she’s convicted.
