Press Secretary:Mayors need to protecttheir cities
The rampant violence across American cities this past weekend claimedthe lives of children as young as 3. It ended the life of a young father. Itleft more than 100 people shot in Chicago alone.
When local leaders excuse or ignore violence, the consequences arefatal. When corporate media downplays the carnage to fit its narrative, thevictim count grows.

“We expect mayors to step up and do their job and governors to step up and do their job—in the mold of President Trump, who secured D.C. after a night of lawlessness two weeks ago,” Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said during a briefing this afternoon.
President Trump took additional action last week to promote safe policing and safe communities. His executive order reserves certain grant money only for law enforcement agencies that meet the highest standards of conduct, including in the use of force.
The President also supports Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) legislation to increase police transparency, incentivize the use of body cameras, and withhold federal money from police departments that continue to permit the use of chokeholds by officers.
Americans want sensible, bipartisan justice reform modeled after President Trump’s First Step Act, which fixed unjust sentencing rules that disproportionately hurt the African-American community. Americans do not want politicians who bow down to the far-left movement to defund the police and excuse the deadly violence on our streets.
