Comer invited city officials to a hearing scheduled for March 29 and said the hearing would cover issues such as crime and homelessness. The offices of D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) and council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) said they received invitations, and Comer said he has also invited the city’s chief financial officer and the head of the D.C. Police Union.
“Congress has sent a clear message to the D.C. Council: it’s time to make our nation’s capital safe again,” Comer said in a statement to The Washington Post. “All Americans should feel safe in their capital city, but radical left-wing policies have led to a crime crisis and rampant homelessness. As the committee with jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, the Oversight Committee has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight of the policies that have plagued our capital city.”
Yes!!! This is awesome. I’m torn though. I don’t like anti-abortion, zealot redneck politicians, but I also hate the rising crime in this town that apparently violence interruptors that don’t interrupt violence or restorative justice no prosecution policies are supposed to fix. Such a conundrum. Either way, I look forward to watching this on cspan. I hope they use the word “woke” a lot.
