Karoline Leavitt to Americans in Democrat-Run Cities: Decline Is A Choice, You Don’t Have To Live In Constant Fear
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a message to Americans in Democratic-run cities at Thursday’s press briefing.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT: Just yesterday, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser credited President Trump for surging federal law enforcement personnel and said neighborhoods, quote, feel and are much safer. We thank Mayor Bowser for her cooperation and her willingness to help us make D.C. safe and beautiful. This entire effort has vindicated what President Trump and law and order advocates have been saying for years. And this is our message to Americans and Democrat run cities nationwide. Decline is a choice. You don’t have to live in constant fear of being robbed, raped or murdered. Your leaders are lying to you and they have been failing you for decades. The President Trump approach of upholding law and order by letting our brave men and women in blue actually do their jobs to aggressively fight crime works. In just a few weeks, President Trump has done more for D.C. residents than Democrats did in 50 years. And this can be replicated in other crime ridden cities across the nation. As President Trump has said, all of these elected officials in charge have to do is pick up the phone and ask for the president and the federal government’s help. President Trump doesn’t care if they are a Republican or a Democrat leader. He wants Americans to be safe and for every law abiding American citizen across the country to be able to thrive in their city and in their community.
