The Republican of Georgia added that Democrats “support criminals” while the GOP and Trump move to help “law respectful citizens”.
“This shows you how different the two parties are,” Clyde told DCNF. “Here you have President Trump and the Republicans who wish to restore law and order, want to make the city safe for the American people and for DC residents and you have the Democrats, who are there to encourage criminals. [it]. “” (Related: residents of one of DC’s most rough services say that Trump’s crime repression needed)
“Here, his intention is to reduce violent crimes, to make the city safer. I mean, how many people have been murdered on average in a week in the city every week in the city of Washington, DC? From 1 to three? And we had a few weeks there when no one was murdered, so how many lies were really saved during these two weeks? ” Clyde continued. “You know, it is quite obvious that the Democrats here support the criminals and the Republicans and the president support the law respectful of laws and therefore I think that the country really needs to see this. And I think that the country will be seated by the Republicans and the President.”
Trump was an effort to eliminate violent crimes in Washington, DC, including mobile In August to deploy national guard troops in the national capital in order to help reduce violent crimes. A lot Democrats have opposite the president’s efforts to combat crime in the capital, with some advertisement That this decision is a “political responsibility” for the Republican Party.

Today, I presented the Clean DC Act to repeal the complete law on the modification of the police and justice reform of the DC council.

The law of 2022 of the DC Council notably prohibits the use of certain neck constraints by the agents of the police and requires additional procedures linked to the cameras carried on the body.
In 2023, Clyde and the Republican New York Andrew Rep. Garbarino introduced a joint resolution of disapproval, Hjres. 42, to block the Crime DC Crime Act, which he called an “anti-policing measure”, reported the daily in March 2023. JD Vance presented the company bill in the Senate in May 2023.
Although the legislation adopted both the House of Representatives and the Senate with bipartite support in 2023, former president Joe Biden opposed his veto to the resolution in May 2023.
“Well, in 2020, the DC municipal council with riots across the country, and Cetera. The Municipal Council of DC adopted an order which was essentially an anti-political order,” Clyde at the DCNF. “In fact, they adopted two of them. One was the revised law on the Criminal Code of DC, which eliminated all the minimum penalties compulsory for violent crimes. Aside, you know, all the second degree and declining murder. ”
“And that would have simply increased the crime that we already see in the city, and that made no meaning,” he added. “It was radically left legislation, and we therefore led a law on the revision of the congress to withdraw and eliminate it and it succeeded.”
Clyde told the DCNF that the The DC council police law is “an anti-policing act”.
“The DC police union was very against [the D.C. Council’s police law] Because they knew that their officers would be injured by this, “said the Congress member.” We therefore led a law on the Congress exam to eliminate this also in 2023. “
Clyde noted that the 2023 bill “Adopted in a bipartite way, with 14 democratic votes on the side of the Chamber, then … in the Senate also, eight Democratic senators voting for this. Then he went to the office of President Biden and veto it. »»
“And the reason why he [Biden] gave that he wanted the DC municipal council to determine their own destiny for the city of Washington, DC, there is a problem with this. In the Constitution, Article 1, Article 8, Clause 17 indicates that the Congress has the exclusive legislative authority on the city of Washington, DC, “said Clyde to the DCNF.” He [Biden] In fact wants the municipal council to be in charge of a city which is supposed to be for all Americans. »»
“The city of Washington, DC was designed by our Constitution, so as not to be just a city for residents, but it was to be a city for all of America,” added the legislator.
The radical democrats so much despise President Trump so much that they shamelessly oppose his common sense efforts to clean the criminal cities of our country.
Trump disturbance syndrome to his best.

Clyde continued by saying that the main objective of his Clean DC act is to keep Washington, DC “in security” and ensure that the The municipal council “will respect the work” that local law enforcement agents do.
“I am quite excited, in fact, and I like the fact that the previous co-sponsor of this in the Senate is now our vice-president, you know? So it’s pretty cool,” said Clyde. “I think he will see a bill he sponsored in the Senate, to come to law by the president under which he serves now.”
“I think this is a pretty cool aspect, but the interest of the bill is to make the city of Washington, DC safer,” he added. “That’s it, and for the municipal council to respect the work that the police agent does because it is a very difficult work.”
“And with this act that you know, always in place, it shows that they do not,” said Clyde. “This shows that the municipal council has not or will not support the police as it should be.”
