The Left is having a collective meltdown over President Trump's plan to wrestle our nation's Capitol away from the criminals who make its streets unsafe.

Chris Murphy tried to blame the GOP for crime (and damaged his fellow Dems instead), and now Tim Walz is chiming in that cracking down on crime is the 'road to authoritarianism:'

His wife liked the smell of burning tires.

Remeber that?

He probably wouldn't like the results of that one.
