“If you are like me, on Monday, you saw something that you hoped you would never see in the United States of America: Federal police moving on American people, peacefully protesting in front of the People’s House,” Bowser said.

Nearby, Basil Abdul Khabir, 57, of Washington, sat near the boarded up front entrance of the Hay Adams Hotel — one of the toniest in the city — and handed out crackers, cookies and water, a gesture to honor his deceased wife, he said.
“I think it is beautiful,” he said of the scene. “I think it is a good spirit that is going on. It is a good positive energy that is flowing through the crowd. We seem like a socialist country today, because everybody is out here helping one another.

How many people were really here?
These people are insane and evil.
It's already his, woman. The District is the federal district mentioned in the constitution. And all executive power is vested in the President. Like it or not, Trump is your boss.
I’m glad I don’t know what it’s like to be that stupid.
When re-elected and the DC funding bill comes forward I hope he redlines it.
They are still there. And President Trump doesn't need to "take over" DC. It's already fedreral territory. He is the ultimate authority.
“Please, destroy the city I am the mayor of to make Trump look bad. Don’t worry, Biden will give us all a bailout.”

criticizes socialist actions. We have seen it all before
in every socialist country.
They are still there. And President Trump doesn’t need to “take over” DC. It’s already federal territory. He is the ultimate authority.

Doesn’t she have some advisor who could explain that to her?
I am sure the Mayor have many advisors...
Washington DC is not a state...
I don’t think any member of media tried to remind the Mayor about that fact...
I am not impressed by this Mayor...
Perhaps she should have focused on pushing the rioters out instead?
