“Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt on Monday begged President Donald Trump to send troops into New York despite recent stats showing Gotham’s crime rate at a remarkable low. (Watch the video below.)
Ainsley and co-hosts were discussing Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C., and threats to deploy National Guard units in other blue cities such as Baltimore, Chicago and New York.
The show played a clip of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson objecting to the possibility. “We are not going to surrender our humanity to this tyrant,” Johnson said in the video. He has also called a military deployment “costly, illegal, and unconstitutional.”
“I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to clean up these cities,” Earhardt said. “I mean, D.C. needed to be cleaned up. It looks like it has been.”
Violent crime in the capital was at a 30-year low before Trump’s intervention, which he credited for making the streets “SAFE AGAIN.”
