The Left is having a collective meltdown over President Trump's plan to wrestle our nation's Capitol away from the criminals who make its streets unsafe.
Chris Murphy tried to blame the GOP for crime (and damaged his fellow Dems instead), and now Tim Walz is chiming in that cracking down on crime is the 'road to authoritarianism:'
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting. https://t.co/g8RmUMaEtN

This is the guy who let Minneapolis burn. He's part of a party that thinks putting criminals behind bars is unfair and unjust.

His wife liked the smell of burning tires.
Which road allows you to watch your cities burn for days and then fire paintballs on innocent citizens? https://t.co/zfO3dgR1c6

It's (D)ifferent when they do it.
Remember when you had Police shoot Minnesota residents with paintballs who were standing on their porch during COVID? https://t.co/P5yYLE0DLW

That, somehow, wasn't authoritarianism.
You're telling us we're overreacting about crime

He should say that to the families of crime vicitms.
Tim Walz wants more people to be victims of crime in Washington, DC.

Insane.
And in Minneapolis, Chicago, Baltimore -- every blue city, really.
Why are you obsessed with making sure more people are victims of crime?

Because reasons.
How about you reach out to @lileks about his carjacking in Minneapolis https://t.co/gJGujwvC2X

Nah. Lileks is just 'overreacting.'
Authoritarianism is when I lose an election https://t.co/wroXcBjTZG

'Authoritarianism' is when Republicans enforce laws.
From the same guy who sat back as Minneapolis burned, whose wife opened the windows so she could smell the fires.

Sit down, Jazz Hands. https://t.co/SKCXQnFowG
Take all the seats, Timmy.
I recall being told Minnesotans were overreacting when you set up a Covid snitch hot line. https://t.co/TkhfSzXWte

Remeber that?
You should do a poll on how many Minnesotans would like for their National Guard units to make the neighborhood around the state capital safer. https://t.co/uLr8q5JRSB

He probably wouldn't like the results of that one.
