President Trump’s move to place the National Guard has had a mixed reaction. The residents of the parts of the city where crime has been a problem are now enjoying the downward trend in crime. Those who were not impacted by the high crime have enjoyed the luxury of criticizing the move. Washington, D.C., is a unique case–because it is under federal jurisdiction, the President has the authority to send in the National Guard. Whether or not he has that authority in other high-crime cities is questionable. However, one Governor is willing to discuss the issue (on his terms).<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Red State<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n President Donald Trump has found massive success in the nation’s capital with cutting crime after the federalization of law enforcement in D.C., and now Maryland’s Democrat Governor Wes Moore admits he would love Trump’s help on crime. But there’s a catch.<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking to Fox News’ Will Cain on “The Will Cain Show<\/a>,” Moore was asked why he wouldn’t welcome the “President of the United States” to help with crime in Maryland, with Baltimore ranking “third in the nation in violent crime rate per capita.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “The truth isn’t partisan, and the truth is most of the major cities in the United States are run by Democrat governors,” the Fox News host added. “And they are also the highest-rate crime cities in the country.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “I would absolutely welcome federal support,” the Democrat governor said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Moore’s response clearly shocked Cain, who said, “There we go. You would welcome the federal support. That’s wonderful to hear. I’m sure the president will be happy to hear that.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The two men ended up mostly talking over each other, making it hard to hear what they were saying. However, it sounded like Moore said that while he would “absolutely welcome the federal support,” there was a big “but” in there, that it was going to be on his terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n Moore would accept federal support, but this is the catch:<\/p>\n “But I also know what federal support is going to be necessary and required,” the governor said. “It’s the reason that I said we would love to have additional support for license plate readers. Things that we know can actually stop crimes as they are happening, and making sure the people are brought to justice.”<\/strong><\/p>\n License plate readers are not the answer. The public does not need every move they made surveilled by the government. I believe that license plate readers are a violation of the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution. This is simply another example of Democrats wanting to control the movements of everyday Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Trump’s move to place the National Guard has had a mixed reaction.
