The Democratic party's propensity for bending the truth to fit their narrative is nothing short of remarkable.
It's as if they've honed the art of deception to perfection, with Congressman Max Frost serving as a prime example.
Recently, Frost made an appearance on CNN, following which he posted a heavily edited video of his interaction with Scott Jennings. The video, riddled with more jump-cuts than a Joe Biden challenge to debate Donald Trump, was far from an accurate representation of the actual conversation.
"If Donald Trump actually gave a damn about keeping DC safe, then he wouldn't be gutting gun violence prevention efforts," Frost claimed in the video. However, according to RedState, Frost's argument was not grounded in facts but was instead an emotional appeal about firearms.
He conveniently overlooked the fact that the majority of guns used in street crimes in Washington D.C. are handguns, despite the city being a "gun-free" zone. It appears that criminals are disregarding this law, much like they are the law they break by possessing a gun. Frost's video is a classic example of the Democratic strategy - deflect and deceive rather than engage in fact-based discourse.
At the helm of this deception brigade is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. As President Trump pushes for a safer D.C., Schumer has taken to the airwaves to spread misinformation. This time, his platform of choice was a podcast, not the Senate floor.
When asked about his sense of safety in Washington D.C., Schumer responded, "No, I walk around all the time. I get up early in the morning, sometimes, I take a nice walk, if the sun is rising around the Capitol and other monuments and things, I feel perfectly safe." He then proceeded to accuse Trump of using D.C.'s safety as a distraction, a tactic he claims Trump has employed throughout his presidency.
However, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, a guest on Laura Ingram's show, which was hosted by Brian Kilmeade, challenged Schumer's claims. Mullin asserted that there was "less than zero" chance that Schumer would walk anywhere without his security detail. As a Senate leader, Schumer is constantly accompanied by armed Capitol Police, a fact that Mullin believes undermines Schumer's claims of feeling safe in D.C.
Mullin also highlighted that Trump had campaigned on the promise of making D.C. safer, a promise he reiterated "20 times" before his presidency. This commitment to safety stands in stark contrast to Schumer's attempts to downplay the crime situation in D.C.
Further into the discussion, Horace Cooper of Project 21 pointed out the alarming crime rate in D.C., stating that it is safer in Baghdad than in Washington D.C. This statement was followed by Kilmeade sharing a text message from a member of Schumer's security detail, which confirmed that Schumer's security is with him all day long, even suggesting that he likely doesn't go to the bathroom without his detail.
Schumer's attempts to downplay the crime situation in D.C., while enjoying the protection of armed security, is a classic example of gaslighting, a term that seems to fit Schumer perfectly. While the Democrats continue to spin their narratives, it's essential to scrutinize their claims and hold them accountable for their words and actions.
