MSNBC’s Scarborough: ‘So Many’ Democrats Secretly Cheering Trump’s D.C. Crackdown

SCARBOROUGH: “Willie, this first story we’re doing this morning, you know, this is a fascinating story because so many people have been calling me over the past couple days, going, ‘You know, like, Washington should have gotten involved years ago. This place is dangerous, it’s a mess, it’s a wreck and whatever,’ and then they’ll go on Twitter and go, ‘This is the worst outrage out of all time.’ Which I understand, it’s like, people need to express their concerns about Donald Trump going too far. We saw what happened going back to 2020 with the National Guard, certainly can’t have any repeat of that. Don’t want the federalization of the entire city. But man, I don’t care what the crime statistics say. Crime has been a problem in this city for the 32 years. I’ve been living inside and outside of this city., it’s just — you know, even now, Mika and I were talking to somebody who lives in the city. These are all Democrats who said, ‘You know, our friends won’t walk more than three blocks in D.C. at night.’ Complete opposite of New York City, where I’ll walk 40, 50 blocks at night and not think twice about it in New York City, in Midtown, Downtown. I mean, New York is a safe, safe place. Washington, D.C., man, it’s door to door. I mean, I go onto those, you know me, I love riding the bikes around, I’ll ride around and I go door to door, I don’t slow down. It’s very dangerous there. Glad the crime rates are going down, but there is no sense of security for people who have been living in that city for 30, 40 years.”
