President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to take over Washington, D.C., on a federal basis if democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George wins next week's Democratic primary for mayor. Trump told Oval Office reporters he wouldn't like it if Lewis George prevails, reported The Washington Post. Currently, Lewis Georg is leading the polls. “We are not going to get ICE off our streets by fearing this president. We are not going to protect our rights or Home Rule by obeying in advance. Threatening Home Rule because you do not like how residents vote is an attack on democracy itself. The people of DC elect the mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Donald Trump,” Lewis George responded. While Trump has the authority to temporarily seize control of the city's police department and deploy the D.C. National Guard — like he did last year — he is legally barred from unilaterally revoking the city's right to self-government without congressional approval, The Washington Post reported. Trump has not explained his opposition to Lewis George beyond her association with democratic socialist policies.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin faced criticism after attacking New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a press conference.Mullin said neither gets along, and added, "It's shameful, and hopefully people in New York will wise up and get a true leader in there in a few years."Critics quickly highlighted the irony of an Oklahoma-based federal official attempting to influence New York City elections regarding its highly popular mayor. Reactions poured into social media. "Nothing like an Oklahoman with no ties to New York City trying to tell the city what to think about its highly popular mayor," wrote Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council."New Yorkers definitely want a plumber from Oklahoma telling them what to do," journalist John Harwood wrote."The leader of American Gestapo is both dumb as a rock and purely evil," Norman Ornstein, political scientist and contributing editor for The Atlantic, posted.The controversy was amplified by reports stating Trump and Mamdani maintain a friendly relationship, texting at least twice weekly.Watch the video below.

Spencer Pratt says he has damaging evidence against one of the Los Angeles mayoral candidates after he was boxed out of the primary election.Pratt initially came in second place when the first ballot count was announced on election night, but his lead was whittled away by successive ballot counts until socialist city councilwoman Nithya Raman overtook him.'The city is a mess, and you're about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction.'Rather than abandon his effort to save Los Angeles, Pratt released a fiery and defiant video Friday claiming to have damaging audio secretly recorded by a candidate's staffer."You think you could get rid of me that easily?" Pratt says in the video. "I didn't get in this for political power; I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing's changed," he added.He referred to Raman and incumbent Mayor Karen Bass as "morons" and "dumb and dumber," a reference to the popular movie. Pratt also claimed that many Los Angeles business owners and entrepreneurs told him they were leaving the city because of the inept government."That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities," Pratt continued."You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city. Look at this place already," he added. "This city is a mess, and you're about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction?" he said.Bass will go up against Raman, who previously endorsed Bass and was counted as one of her allies. Some on the left see Raman as the manifestation of a party battle between centrist moderates and the far-left socialist fringe trying to take over."My goal hasn't changed. I've been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them. If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait," he added. KTLA-TV published Pratt's video in its entirety on its YouTube channel.RELATED: Socialist mayoral candidate is outraged at encampment outside her LA home — but its not what it seems "So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?" he asked. "I hope you sleep well at night over the next five months." The latest ballot count with about 99% of the votes had Bass at 34.3%, Raman at 29%, and Pratt at 25.5% of the votes. The difference between Pratt and Raman was about 30K votes."It's war!" Pratt said in the video. Like Blaze News?
