“It was shameful to see how the leadership of our Nation's Capital shrugged their shoulders at the alarming spikes in violent crime sweeping across the district. D.C. residents are fed up. Visitors to our Nation's Capital are fed up. Americans deserve to be safe, not subjected to repeat offenders shooting up the Metro stop while they commute to work, as happened earlier this year. Our police officers and first responders deserve to be supported, not vilified. Where Congress can, under current law, it should act to preserve law and order and prevent these reckless actions from taking effect. Mr. Speaker, I strongly support the rule, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.”
