No, Marjorie Taylor Greene, D.C. is not a crime-ridden hell hole
Greene knows that words matter. She’s built a career twisting them, straight from the Trump playbook.In 2019, President Donald Trump called Baltimore a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and not long after, conservative entertainer Tucker Carlson called the city “Even before the hate-blossom of the Trump era, President George H.W. Bush’s administration orchestrated a drug bust outside the White House in 1989 so the president could use a plastic baggie of crack to color D.C.
And although Greene’s casting of D.C. is ignorant, her targeting of home rule signals an understanding of our history, and how to weaponize it.state of governing enacted in 1974 that gives D.C. residents power, however limited, to determine what we want our city to look like.in the U.S. House.“Oversight Committee Republicans have called on the D.C. mayor repeatedly to address the surge of homelessness and violent crime and to withdraw her unfair vaccine passport,” Rep.
the committee, said in a statement to The Washington Post earlier this year, when they began banging the repeal home rule drum. “When Republicans are back in power in 2023, we will hold the D.C. mayor accountable for implementing policies that are destroying Americans’ capital city.”Let’s be honest for a moment. The folks mucking around in D.C. problems are trying to deflect from their own, back home.
Greene and her MAGA pals can pocket their paternalistic concerns for a city on the come-up. Because this naked attempt to stoke the culture wars is about anything but the 712,000 people who live here. And Greene is waging it as she struggles for relevance in a shifting GOP that’s seeking — however slowly — to move past Trump.
