On 10/3/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Republicans after Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX) was carjacked at gunpoint outside his apartment building in Washington D.C.
Peter Doocy of Fox News pressed KJP: “How are you going to blame Republicans for [Cuellar being carjacked]? Isn’t D.C. run by a bunch of Democrats?”
KJP once again deflected: “I’m going to speak to what [Biden] has done…American Rescue Plan, not Republican…voted for it. Not one…Billions of dollars…to make sure communities…got funding that they could indeed hire more police officers, so that they can keep their communities safe. Republicans had nothing to do with that…That’s just a fact.”
“If President Biden’s policies are helping bring crime down, would he be comfortable with somebody borrowing his Corvette and parking it on the street overnight in southeast D.C.?”
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “I’m not gonna get into hypotheticals”
“How are you gonna blame Republicans for [the carjacking of a Democrat congressman]? Isn’t D.C. run by a bunch of Democrats?”
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “I’m gonna speak to what the president has done!”

Karine Jean-Pierre Blames Republicans After Democrat Congressman Carjacked in Democrat-Run DC
Three black men reportedly approached Representative Cuellar while armed and demanded his car. The attackers succeeded in getting away in Cuellar’s white Honda CHR, which is registered in Texas.
Rep. Cuellar is reportedly safe and was not harmed. He thanked the Capitol Police and Metro Police for their swift action that helped recover his stolen car and belongings in less than two hours.
Democrats have also repeatedly pushed to defund the police, and in many cases successfully defanged police departments.
Karine Jean-Pierre said Republicans are to blame for the surge in carjackings in Democrat-run DC.
“If a member of Congress is not safe on the streets of the nation’s capital, who is?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked KJP.
