“The laws are weak.”
U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. Jeanine Pirro torched the D.C. city council and soft-on-crime lawmakers that have made the nation’s capital a crime-ridden hellhole.
Pirro called out D.C. lawmakers during President Trump’s Monday press briefing.
“I see too much violent crime being committed by young punks who think they can get together in gangs and crews and beat the crap out of you and anyone else … they know we can’t touch them because the laws are weak,” Pirro said.
“We need to go after the DC Council and their absurd laws, we need to end no cash bail, we need to recognize that the people who matter are law-abiding citizens,” Pirro said.
