After Trump announced that He was too scared to go to Chicago, So instead he sends the National Guard to Memphis, city and state leaders have spoken about crime in Memphis and what they really need Trump and his party to do.
Tennessee State Senator London Lamar (D) was the weekend on MSNBCs on Saturday and she said:
What we have to do is continue to invest in local police work, and what we have to do is allow our local leaders to show the way when it comes to making Memphis safe. Look, Memphis experiences crime challenges, just like all major cities in the United States because.
Our Republican legislators and the Trump government refuse to invest in adequate healthcare, affordable homes, increasing wages, all determining factors of crime. And when you have a black city like Memphis that has been outlined for decades and decades, no wonder there are challenges when it comes to public safety.
But make no mistake, this decision is a short -term effect on trying to combat crime. If we really want to come. Send all federal means to the meat and the potatoes of this issue to improve the programming for children, to improve health care access to bring more affordable homes, but not only bring the army in.
That will not have a real impact on someone’s life, but scare them for a few weeks.
Video clip from Senator Lamar:
Lamar later spoke about the Republican policy that the crime increases and said:
Republicans from Tennessee have implemented over the past seven years, they have rolled back gun laws, they had guns flood the streets have loosened the laws of arms, and what you have seen was an increase in crime. So what I would say in the last 15 years of Republican control, our community has become more unsafe. Weapons are the most important cause of death for children in Tennessee, and it is not because we have not done much to be tough for crime. It is because we have detached laws around weapons and make our communities unsafe and not invest in education, affordable housing and other indicators of a good life.
And what you see is a political stunt about reports that this is a city -ravaged city of people who do not want to work or who commit crimes, and that is simply not true. Memphis is a great city. Memphis has a history of Martin Luther King of Justice, from Fighting, and that is what we are going to show America with Trump that sends the National Guard. This is not going to break us. This will make our city stronger, and we will show you how you can lead in a time when the world thinks we will just fall for the Trump administration.
We are really going to show our strength right now. We will show that to the Governor, to the Republicans and to the Trump government. We are ready to work.
Trump’s fake war against crime is a publicity stunt that seems intended to distract the country from the failing economy, the Epstein files and Trump’s constantly growing list of failures.
The reason why Trump invades Memphis is because of the Republican governor and legislative power. Trump will not get any legal challenges in Tennessee as he would do in other blue states with democratic governors.
Memphis is a majority of the minority city, but it will not be the easy target that Trump hopes for, and if he is not careful, his crime publicity stunt will have an effective effect.
