President Trump called-out the “radical left” leaders of major American cities from the Oval Office Monday morning; saying the federal government will step-in if the mayors of Chicago, New York, and Portland fail to crackdown on crime.
“Many people killed over the weekend, looking at Chicago, looking at New York, look at what’s going on, all run by Democrats, all run by very liberal Democrats, all run really by radical left,” said the President.
“We can’t let this happen to the cities. New York, the crime rate is up 300%. The Governor has to do something about it. If he doesn’t do something about it we’ll have to do something about it,” he added.

ATLANTA SPIRALS: Mayor Attacks the Governor for Sending in National Guard to Protect Monuments
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms attacked Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for his decision to deploy 1,000 troops to protect monuments in her city; saying she never asked for the help despite weeks of civil unrest.
“The irony of that is that I asked Governor Kemp to allow us to mandate masks in Atlanta and he said no,” Bottoms said. “But he has called in the National Guard without asking if we needed the National Guard.”
