George Conway, a conservative and leading critic of President Donald Trump, has compared the Republican to a fictional mobster when discussing the DC streets takover.
Conway and former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor appeared on MSNBC Wednesday to discuss Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C. Trump placed the D.C. police force under federal control and deployed the National Guard to the nation’s capital. Trump has claimed the move was in response to “out of control” crime that is getting worse, though data shows violent crime in D.C. has been declining since it hit a peak in 2023.
