Noting DC let the repeat offender off with light sentences, Rep. Craig asked, 'what the hell do you think's gonna happen?'


Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig, who was allegedly assaulted in the elevator of her Washington, D.C. residence by a 26-year-old man named Kendrid Hamlin, has been tied to the "defund the police" movement.

The change came soon after Craig said she was assaulted in an elevator in her Washington, D.C. apartment complex.

"I got attacked by someone who the District of Columbia has not prosecuted fully over the course of almost a decade, over the course of 12 assaults before mine that morning," Craig told CBS News.

"And so I think we have to think about how in the world we can make sure that we’re not just letting criminals out," she added.

Other messages the lawmaker shared include: “I hope the f*****s get you again,” and, “I am so glad that you were attacked.”

Craig’s office is drawing a link between the messages and an episode of “The Five.”

During that edition, co-host Geraldo Rivera said the lawmaker, was “very brave, heroic, almost,” before noting that critics had linked Craig to the defund the police movement

“And, you know, I like what she did, but critics are now pointing out that the congresswoman’s ties to the defund the police movement, you know, really make it sound hypocritical,” he said. “One of her top staffers spoke out against law enforcement for example, during the George Floyd riots.
