In this episode of “The Democrat Party: The Most Hypocritical Group of People on the Planet”…
Blatant hypocrisy in one of the most-used tools in the Democrat toolbox. Moreover, nobody does projection — a defense mechanism used to attribute one’s own undesirable beliefs or behaviors to others in an effort to deflect responsibility or criticism — better than Democrat politicians.
This brings us to the Democrat Mayors Association (DMA) and its absurdly ironic statement in response to President Donald Trump’s announcement on Monday that he would federalize the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., to respond to crime, by placing it under the authority of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Needless to say, Democrats and their quasi-official state media sock puppets promptly lost their TDS-riddled minds over Trump’s announcement.
Meanwhile, the DMA’s statement took home the trophy for the most hilarious criticism of all; blaming Trump for run-away crime in Democrat-run cities, while absurdly claiming Democrat-run city governments have brought crime rates down (emphasis, mine):
Let’s be clear, crime is down in most major cities, including Washington, DC in spite of Donald Trump, not because of him. While there is still more work to be done, mayors need a federal partner who works with them, not against them.
If Trump actually cared about reducing crime, he wouldn’t have made unprecedented cuts tp public safety programs that actually work. If Trump actually cared about our communities, he’d be working to protect them, not vilifying them.
But the truth is Trump doesn’t care — he only wants to create yet another political charade to serve his own interests and distract Americans from his failures. While Trump may try to take credit for the work, Democratic mayors will never stop fighting to protect and strengthen our communities because that’s what they do — they get things done.
Huh? If the above claims were included in a dystopian fairytale, it would begin with “Once upon a dark time, in a lie-filled land far away…”

Where to begin with that crock of crap?
First, while crime might be down in some cities, Fox News reported — following Trump’s announcement — that the U.S. in 2020 experienced a surge in violent crime amid widespread protests and riots during the peak of the COVID pandemic. FBI data shows a nearly 30 percent increase in murders compared to the previous year, the largest single-year increase in homicides since the agency started tracking such crimes.
In the years that have followed, Washington has been shaken by a wave of shootings that have killed innocent children, a rise in juvenile carjackings that have sometimes turned fatal, shoplifting incidents, and attacks on government employees, summer interns, and others — including the tragic shooting death of 21-year-old congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym in June.
Second, apparently, whoever wrote the above statement didn’t watch Trump’s announcement or read a transcript of it. He said repeatedly that one of his goals is to protect not only our nation’s capital but also its law-abiding citizens. To suggest the president “vilified” either is to tell a bald-faced lie.
Third, it’s the Democrat Party, not Donald Trump, that desperately seeks to distract from its miserable failures. Following four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, all the Democrats have left is scaremongering themselves silly about the evils of Trump, in a blatant attempt to deflect from their continuing failure to propose serious bipartisan legislation to fix the wrongs they created; many of those wrongs, intentionally so.
Fourth, the notion of the Democrats “getting things done” — other than further dividing America along class and ethnic lines, that is — is beyond laughable.
Pitting Americans against their neighbors is hardly getting things done.
Editor’s Note: The days of lawlessness in Washington, D.C. are over. Thanks to President Trump, our nation’s capital will be SAFE once again.
