U.S. Rep. Mike Collins said one of his staffers was robbed at gunpoint along with a friend in Washington D.C. over the weekend.
U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., said one of his staffers was robbed at gunpoint Sunday in Washington D.C. Collins wrote on X that three men attempted to rob the unnamed staffer and a friend in the city's Navy Yard neighborhood. 'One attacker took a watch, the other took a fist to the face,' he wrote. 'Our nation’s capital has become a war zone because of pro-criminal policies peddled by D.C.’s government.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as Collins' office. In another post on X, Collins blamed local officials for Washington's crime woes. 'Time and time again D.C.’s leadership proves they are incapable of governing and protecting its citizens,' he wrote. 'Violent crime in this city is a problem that affects everyone. It's unthinkable that drive-by robberies are a normal part of living just a few blocks from the Capitol.
