Washington Week Sees 'Racially Tinged Hypocrisy' in Trump's Capital City Crime Fight

President Trump’s use of emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard to America’s disgracefully crime-ridden capital city was greeted with racially charged animus by the (for the moment) taxpayer-funded pundits on PBS’s Washington Week in Review on Friday evening. Show moderator and Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg brought up what he “a domestic military situation, the National Guard on the streets of Washington.”

Scott MacFarlane of CBS News admitted that some locals supported the “extra law enforcement,” but quickly pivoted that Trump’s federalization would last forever and went on to suggest the documented suspicions of the crime figures being cooked was a conspiracy theory
