Buttigieg Downplays D.C. Crime Rate, Says He Can ‘Safely Walk’ His Dog

ELIZABETH WEIBEL  |  9 Apr 2024

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg dismissed the idea that Washington, DC, is experiencing a rise in crime, pointing out that a “lot of energy” was going into painting the narrative.

During an interview with MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday, Buttigieg highlighted how he was able to “safely walk” his dog in the nation’s capital without any problems. Buttigieg, like many other elected officials, is provided with a security detail.

“We need to talk about the reality here, and again, there is a lot of funding and a lot of energy going into telling a different story, especially on ideological news outlets and online,” Buttigieg said.

“But, the simple facts and the simple reality are right here staring us in the face, including the fact that I can safely walk my dog to the Capitol today in a way that you couldn’t do when we all got here,” Buttigieg added.

Hours after Buttigieg’s interview, two people walking their dog on H Street NE were attacked by a group of six juveniles, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

That the country is still plugging along even with these people in charge speaks volumes to the resilience of this country

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I want to see little Alfred E. Newman send his security detail home and then take a nice walk with his "Wife" what's his name, the kids and his dog to the nations capitol....something tells me the little shit would take a hard pass on it.
