Top House Republicans have launched into an investigation into DC mayor Muriel Bowser’s willingness to allow rioters to own the nation’s capital. Citing the attack on Rand Paul and his wife as well as the outside diners by BLM , they want to know why there is no police protection for conservatives.
Newsweek first reported:
The ranking Republicans on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees—Jim Jordan (Ohio) and James Comer (Ky.), respectively—want D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to produce documents pertaining to how the city has handled what the Republicans described as “left-wing agitators,” according to a letter the GOP duo sent to the Democratic mayor on Wednesday that was obtained by Newsweek.
Jordan and Comer requested copies of all documents and communications related to the city’s response to any unrest that has occurred since June 1, and information about whether any “perpetrators” of violent confrontations were “paid or otherwise induced to commit these acts” by a third party.
The letter reads:
Like other Democrat-run cities, the District of Columbia (D.C.) under your leadership has allowed radical left-wing violent extremists to commit senseless acts of violence and destruction. By your inaction in response to their mayhem, these left-wing agitators have become emboldened to be even more aggressive and more dangerous.
The rioting in our nation’s capital is inexcusable and if Bowser cannot deal with it, she needs lose her authority over running the city and leave the job to someone who is capable of doing it. Jim Jordan (Ohio) and James Comer (Ky.) are waiting for her explanation.
