Former Dem Policy Advisor Has NASTY Message For Those Afraid Of D.C. Crime

Posted • August 12, 2025: For the longest time, the Left told us we had to respect everyone's 'lived experience.' Right up until those lived experiences collided with the Left's policies and agendas. Then, suddenly, how certain people felt about things -- like feeling unsafe in crime-ridden D.C. -- didn't matter. We've told you quite a bit about the Left's meltdown over President Trump federalizing the D.C. police force in response to crime. Now Jim Kessler, former policy director for Chuck Schumer, is telling people concerned about D.C. crime to vacation elsewhere: —— Former policy director for Chuck Schumer shames those who don't feel safe in Washington D.C., telling them to "leave their fears someplace else." - "If people are afraid to come to D.C., go to Disney World, get fat, eat French fries. I have lived here for 37 years. I am not afraid. I live in the city. I'm not afraid." —— What a nasty man.

Odds that "Former policy director for Chuck Schumer" lives in or even transits to Southeast DC? Slim to none. —— My daughter lives in DC, when I visit, I leave my wedding rings, diamond stud earrings and diamond necklace at home. I also leave my designer handbags home too, or I wear them underneath my non-discript coat in the winter. —— He needs to prove it. Walk alone on a Friday or Saturday evening in every neighborhood just not his elite street. He'll never do that. This is grotesque to shame people for wanting to stay alive. A couple in Northwest D.C. was shot five times each during an attempted carjacking on Colorado Ave. NW. The boyfriend shielded his girlfriend, suffering severe injuries, including a punctured lung. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GyF0lCvXMAA6Qzm?format=png&name=900x900 —— He should have 'left his fear at home.' —— Go to Disney World, get fat, eat French fries, I don't care. A former policy director for Chuck Schumer ladies and gentlemen.

'Why do Democrats have 19% approval?' Total. Mystery. Pitting D.C. vs. Disney for vacays is hilariously stupid. It's very hilarious. He’s shaming people who take their family on a safe, fun vacation like Disney? Why? What a nasty thing to say. Oh, Disney is safe and wonderful because our Governor Ron DeSantis ensures the rule of law is followed. —— “Executive think tank VPs making $400,000 a year” D.C. is not the bad D.C. I’m sure crime is very low in Chevy Chase village or wherever he lives. It is, which is why he feels safe. Less wealthy D.C. residents? Not so much. (…)
