Eleanor Norton Holmes is the sole Representative of the District of Columbia in Congress and she is clearly delusional when she says the Navy Yard shooting wasn’t “terrorism.” But it got worse when she then followed that up saying that D.C is one of the safest cities in the USA despite that it has such a high crime/murder rate.
As the attack by the killer, the mentally unstable Aaron Alexis, ended, Norton appeared on television in DC proclaiming that this attack wasn’t “terrorism.”
“There is no indication this was a terrorist event,” Holmes said. “But I hope we all understand that with all these guns loose in the society, it doesn’t take a terrorist to do what was done here today.”
Of course it was terrorism. It wasn’t Islamofascist terror, mind you, but all mass shootings are terrorism.
Norton then went on to laughably claim that Washington D.C. is the safest city in America. No, really. She did…
The fact is that D.C. has a very high crime rate. The capitol city is in the top 25 most dangerous cities in America.
This woman needs to get back on her meds.
