The regime media tried and failed to gaslight Americans on crime in the nation’s capital, and US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro wasn’t having it for a single second.
Speaking after President Donald Trump’s bold federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department, an unprecedented move to clean up the lawless swamp, a smug reporter suggested crime in DC was “down.”
Pirro unleashed.
“It’s NEVER ENOUGH. You tell these families that crime has dropped. You tell the mother of the intern who was shot going out for McDonald’s near the Washington Convention Center, ‘oh, crime is down.’
You tell the kid who was just beat to hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, ‘crime is down.’
No, that falls on deaf ears. My ears are deaf to that and that’s why I fight the fight. Thank you.”
WATCH:
HOLY MIC DROP! A reporter tried to say that crime in DC is down and @JudgeJeanine wasn’t having it for a SINGLE SECOND!
This is the energy we’ve needed in DC!
“Oh, STOP IT.”

Pirro’s comments come as the DC police department’s credibility is in tatters following revelations that crime statistics were being manipulated to hide the city’s violent crime wave.
Back in July, NBC Washington reported that DC Police Commander Michael Pulliam, then head of the 3rd District, was suspended and placed on paid administrative leave after accusations surfaced that he altered crime data to make it look like violent crime had plummeted.
Five law enforcement sources confirmed Pulliam was being investigated for “questionable changes” to crime data, changes the police union says were part of a deliberate effort to make the numbers look better for political optics.
Congrats to Ken for accusing someone else of lying while lying.
Crime is not at “historic lows.” The data was falsified by reclassifying violent crimes that don’t show up in the crime reports.
But don’t believe me. Believe your own NBC News affiliate.https://t.co/aPEG6iJCU1 https://t.co/Wmyd95n5iM
