4:54Now Playing🚫 Facts vs. fiction on D.C. crime.
In this Pushing the Limits segment, Brian Shapiro reacts to Sen. Markwayne Mullen’s national TV appearance where he falsely claims Washington, D.C. has the highest homicide rate of any major U.S. city — and says he doesn’t wear a seatbelt there to avoid being trapped during a carjacking.
Brian fact-checks Mullen’s statements, highlights actual crime statistics, and points out the absurdity of the seatbelt excuse. He also calls out Mullen for repeatedly referring to D.C.’s mayor as “he” instead of “she.”
