Recently, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) suffered a carjacking at gunpoint; the incident was addressed by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday, October 3. Little did Jean-Pierre expect, however, that Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy would wipe the floor with her after she made a ridiculous comment.
Doocy asked whether President Biden would be comfortable with somebody borrowing his Corvette and parking it overnight in Southeast D.C., to which Jean-Pierre responded without addressing the question directly, pointing out only the facts about what this president has done during his presidency.
The exchange intensified when Doocy further probed the political undertones surrounding the incident, suggesting a possible blame game between Democrats and Republicans.
They are insufferable. It’s always everyone else’s fault. Clown world.

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) was carjacked by three armed assailants near Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.’s Navy Yard area – a Democrat-run city known for its stringent gun control laws – but thankfully emerged unscathed from the ordeal and his vehicle was later recovered by authorities.
The suspects were described as black men dressed entirely in black clothing, raising questions regarding accountability and responsibility for such incidents occurring within public spaces despite existing gun control laws in place.

Doocy’s questioning of Jean-Pierre suggested a looming political blame game between both Democrat and Republican parties over who is to be held accountable for this particular carjacking incident.
Since Washington D.C.’s gun control laws are so stringent, this situation serves as yet another reminder that stricter gun control measures do not necessarily prevent crime from taking place within a given community or area. Though these regulations may work out better in theory than they do in practice, it remains important that we learn from events such as these when it comes time to make decisions about future legislative matters pertaining to gun control.
What an absolute lie! Nothing is safe.

It is also worth noting that even though Democrats tend to favor stronger restrictions on firearms ownership, incidents such as these serve as a stark reminder that criminals will always find ways around current legislation — regardless of how much effort is put into enforcing them.
