Republicans on the House Administration Committee used a hearing Thursday to express deep concern about their safety in the District of Columbia and outrage about the way in which the City Council is faltering in mitigating crime near the Capitol complex.
“Every week that I get on a plane and I fly to D.C., my husband wonders if something is going to happen to me while I’m here,” Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., said.
GOP members were highly critical of the D.C. government and Democratic policies they say are soft on crime, at a hearing about how crime is affecting congressional operations.
