Weak-on-Crime Democrat U.S. Congresswoman Carjacked at Gunpoint in Philadelphia (thelibertydaily.com)

At some point these democrats have to make the play for a Federalizing local Police forces.

A Democratic Congresswoman got a taste of the results of policies she supports when she was carjacked and robbed at gunpoint in South Philadelphia.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Penn.) was approached by two armed men on her way to her 2017 Acura MDX today. They took her vehicle and her purse. Neither have been apprehended. According to The Epoch Times:

“She’s physically OK, but her vehicle and possessions are gone,” Scanlon’s spokesperson, Lauren Cox, told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Scanlon, a Democrat, represents Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District. That includes parts of South Philadelphia and Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Scanlon’s office, in a statement provided to WVPI-TV, said that two armed men approached her near FDR Park.

“Wednesday afternoon, at around 2:45 p.m., Congresswoman Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint in FDR Park following a meeting at that location,” her office said. “The Congresswoman was physically unharmed. She thanks the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response, and appreciates the efforts of both the Sergeant at Arms in D.C. and her local police department for coordinating with Philly PD to ensure her continued safety.”

Police told the station that the suspects demanded the keys to her vehicle, a 2017 Acura MDX with the Pennsylvania license plate LKG-8893, and took off with it. The vehicle was last seen being driven westbound on Pattison toward Penrose streets, they said.

Chief Inspector Frank Vanore, who confirmed the incident, told the Inquirer that later, the two suspects were last seen driving Scanlon’s car toward Interstate 95 southbound. The FBI is now assisting in an investigation, he told the outlet.
