HOLY CRAP! The Democrat Chair of the Washington DC Council was just CONFRONTED by Jim Jordan on fudging the crime statistics, and he cracked under pressure. https://x.com/i/status/1968713686932996579/video/1

"Why not call it STEALING? Why did you create this new category that grew +500% that I think allows you to cook the books?!"

JORDAN: What is "taking property without right?"

PHIL MENDELSON: Well, that's theft.

JORDAN: Then WHY NOT CALL IT THEFT?

MENDELSON: I can't speak to....

JORDAN: The solution was to come up with "Taking Property Without Right?"

MENDELSON: If you're speaking to particular charges, I can't speak to that...

JORDAN: I am asking a simple question. You have a classification for crime called "taking property without right." What does that mean?

MENDELSON: It means what it says.

JORDAN: What would a normal person call "taking property without right?!" [It's] grown 500% in the past several years! I think allows you to cook the books!

Palestinian Terrorist Rashida Tlaib got very upset that people were saying crime is out of control in DC.

One could say she "blew up" or "exploded."
