“The Federalist” editor in chief Mollie Hemingway said on this week’s “FOX News Sunday” panel:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, FOX NEWS: When President Trump deployed the National Guard here in Washington, D.C., it immediately resulted in decreases in some of the serious crime problems that have been plaguing the city. Other jurisdictions noticed how well that worked, and they also understood-they read the polls and saw that decreasing crime happens to be something that nearly everybody supports politically. So they quickly realized they, too, could do this. This is after years of defunding the police, decreasing the number of police. In Washington, D.C., we’ve decreased the number of police by hundreds. That was an intentional policy by our city council to make the streets less safe, and they’ve also made it much easier to commit crime. These policies are now harming the Democrat Party, and so I think that’s why you’re seeing some mayors roll out.
