#TSRPolitics: D.C. Mayor #MurielBowser is speaking out after President #DonaldTrump announced a sweeping federal takeover of Washington, D.C.’s police department and the deployment of National Guard troops, to combat crime in the city.

Bowser called the move “unsettling and unprecedented,” but said she wasn’t surprised, according to thehill. While speaking to reporters just hours after the announcement, Bowser said, “I’m going to work every day to make sure it’s not a complete disaster… We’re going to work every day to get this emergency put to an end, I’ll call it the ‘so-called emergency.’”

Bowser also pushed back on Trump’s narrative, saying his COVID-era experience shapes his view of the city during his first term. “It is true that those were more challenging times related to some issues,” she said. “It is also true that we experienced a crime spike post-COVID, but we worked quickly to put laws in place and measures that got violent offenders off the streets and gave our police officers more tools, which is why we have seen a huge decrease in crime.” Mayor Bowser also emphasized the nation’s capital 
is at a “30-year violent crime low.” SWIPE✍🏾#TSRStaffAS 📷:(gettyimages)
