The Democrats’ Cult of Human Sacrifice
By Stuart Creque
When President Trump deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., condemnation from Democrats was swift and withering. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D - NY) declared, “No f‑‑‑ing way” would he agree to extending the deployment beyond 30 days, saying. “We’ll fight him tooth and nail.” After Mayor Muriel Bowser said, “The fact that we have more law enforcement and presence in neighborhoods, that may be positive,” she reverted to the official Democrat Party line, telling community leaders they need to “protect our city and to protect our autonomy, to protect our Home Rule, and get to the other side of this guy…”
President Trump's talk of sending the National Guard to large American cities both in blue states (like Chicago in Illinois) and red states (St. Louis in Missouri) has infuriated Democrat officials. Maryland governor Wes Moore called out President Trump, saying, “if you are not willing to walk our communities, keep our name out of your mouth.” Trump responded on X, “As President, I would much prefer that [Gov. Moore] clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a ‘walk.’”
Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson were more blunt. “Mr. President -- Instead, I say: do not come. You are neither wanted nor needed here,” Pritzker said, adding. “If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me… from making sure that you face justice." On the MS-NOW program “Morning Joe,” Johnson implied that more funding for social programs would solve Chicago’s crime problems with and repeatedly refused to say that 5,000 more police officers in Chicago -- in addition to the social programs he proposes -- would make the city’s residents safer.
These Democrat politicians are terrified that the President’s intervention in Washington is working. From January through July of 2025, the monthly number of homicides in the District averaged over 13. Since the deployment of the National Guard, homicides in the District have fallen to zero.
Politicians of every stripe should support saving the lives of people who would otherwise be murdered. Yet Democrats behave as though the actions President Trump has taken are worse that the deaths those actions have prevented.
