Karine Jean-Pierre blames Republicans for Democrat congressman Henry Cuellar being carjacked in DC

Congressman Henry Cuellar was carjacked at gunpoint in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood on October 2, 2023.

It's worth noting that Washington, D.C. is under the leadership of Democrats. This incident has prompted concerns about public safety in the capital city, especially considering the rise in crime rates during the Biden administration.

During a press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre drew criticism for her response to the carjacking. Instead of addressing the security issues directly, she shifted the focus by blaming Republicans, a move which was an attempt to divert attention from the rising crime problem and create further political division.
