Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying things, the president wrote on Truth Social.
Lewis George, a member of the D.C. Council representing Ward 4, won the Democratic primary in the race to succeed outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). Bowser is retiring after three terms in office, while Lewis George is the favorite in heavily-liberal D.C. — Republicans do not even have a mayoral nominee.
A self-described democratic socialist, Lewis George has campaigned on expanding access to childcare, reforming zoning and permitting laws to speed up the construction of homes and addressing the root causes of crime — particularly among young people.
