DC mayor responds to proposed 'Bowser Act,' which aims to repeal Home Rule
The bill was introduced by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tennessee last week. It has been named the "Bringing Oversight to Washington and Safety to Every Resident" (BOWSER) Act in the Senate and House, named after District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser.
According to the bill sponsors, the proposal is in response to the mayor and city council’s "failure to prevent violent crime, corruption, and voting by non-citizens". It would repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act one year after passage.
Home Rule refers to the law signed in 1973 by Richard Nixon, which created a local government for Washington, D.C. It granted DC residents the ability to elect a mayor and council, but Congress retained the power to overrule local legislation and D.C. residents remained without a vote in Congress.
Criminals in congress and the White House refuse to be held accountable for their crimes perpetrated in Washington DC.
Enrique Tarrio Was Arrested At The Capitol TodayEnrique Tarrio, the former leader of the extremist group Proud Boys, was arrested on multiple charges, including seditious conspiracy, for his role in the violent January 6th Capitol insurrection. Tarrio, who had orchestrated and encouraged the storming of the Capitol, was one of the primary figures behind the attempt to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results. Today, Tarrio and other insurrectionists tried to celebrate their recent pardons in front of the United States Capitol. According to reports, he was rearrested, after striking a woman's phone and arm after she allegedly held a phone near his face following the conclusion of a press conference on Capitol grounds. As a former Capitol Police officer who stood on the front lines during the insurrection, I witnessed firsthand the chaos and violence instigated by individuals like Tarrio and his cohorts. The physical and emotional toll that day took on my colleagues and me was immense, and the damage done to our democracy cannot be understated. Tarrio and his group’s actions should never be overlooked, and those responsible for such attempts to undermine our government should never be allowed back on the streets. Their violent rhetoric and actions pose an ongoing threat to our nation’s security and stability. As someone who dedicated their career to protecting the Capitol and its people, I strongly believe that individuals like Enrique Tarrio should face the full extent of the law and remain behind bars. It is imperative that we send a message that those who seek to subvert democracy through violence and extremism will be held accountable and will never again be allowed to threaten the safety of our institutions. Join me in this fight: |
