Fox & Friends co-anchor Ainsley Earhardt publicly urged the Trump administration to extend its federal law enforcement takeover to New York City, following similar actions in Washington, D.C.
Earhardt expressed a desire for increased policing and National Guard presence in NYC, particularly in areas like Times Square, to enhance public safety.
Her comments came as the Trump administration implemented a federal crackdown on law enforcement in Washington, D.C., which was met with protests from residents.
Despite the administration's justification of reducing crime, Washington, D.C. has seen a decline in major crime categories, including murders.
The Vice President suggested that D.C. served as a 'test case' for potential federal takeovers of police departments in other Democratic-led cities, despite New York City's already low crime rates.
