BREAKING NEWS: JD Vance Takes Questions During Surprise Visit To Shake Shack At D.C.'s Union Station

Published | Video Starts at 17:56

Well, I think the crime statistics all over Our country were massively underreported because a lot of people would pick up the phone, they'd call somebody, they'd try to get help, and nobody would show up. If you look at Wait times at 911 response times all across our country, but certainly in Washington, D.C. they were way too long. And that wasn't because of the D.C. police. That was because there was too much crime and too few law enforcement agents on the street to bring order and decency to the city. (17:56–18:03)

CLAIM
