Some House Democrats are boiling over at President Joe Biden's announcement that he won't veto a bill that would block changes to Washington D.C.'s criminal code – just days after his administration blasted the proposal as a violation of 'home rule.'
Biden announced the change Thursday after a meeting with Senate Democrats where he got asked about it. He cited a policy dispute between D.C.'s Mayor Muriel Bowser and the City Council.
But that didn't satisfy some members of his own party who are accustomed to Republicans seeking to overturn local policy decisions but have counted on Democratic pledges to push D.C. statehood and protect local decision-making authority.
'The White House f***** this up royally,' one House Democrat told The Hill newspaper. The lawmaker said party leaders that Biden was prepared to veto the resolution of disapproval – which likely would have stopped the move.
'I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don't support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor's objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings,' Biden tweeted after Senate Democrats confirmed Biden told them he at a party retreat that would sign it if the chamber passed it.
'If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I'll sign it,' Biden wrote.
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) called the turnaround 'disappointing.'

Comment:
The Corrupt Democrat Party treats the Law Abiding Citizens and the Police as their opposition.
And they treat criminals as highly valued constituents.
In doing so, they are admitting that the Democrat Party's voter base is a bunch of low-class trash criminals.
This is why they defunded the police in their deep blue cities.
But now Americans are witnessing a huge increase in violent crime, and it is hurting the Democrooks politically.
Biden is attempting to change the Democrat Party's image as being soft on crime.

Democrats fume at Biden for siding with Republicans on DC crime bill
President Biden is coming in for criticism from House Democrats who say his announcement he would sign a GOP resolution to roll back changes to D.C.'s criminal code a violation of home rule for the city.
