A Republican congressman from Missouri made a surprising
revelation late this week about several of his colleagues.
Rep. Eric Burlison said many of his fellow lawmakers now
sleep in their congressional offices because they fear being attacked or killed
on the increasingly dangerous streets of Washington, D.C.
Burlison made this shocking admission Wednesday during an interview
with radio host Todd Starnes on his podcast.
The Missouri lawmaker's surprising revelation came after
Starnes noted that Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) had been assaulted and
kidnapped on Monday in the Navy Yard neighborhood of the nation's capital,
where several members of Congress live.
"How dangerous is it in Washington?" -Starnes
asked.
"It's very dangerous," Burlison responded. "I
mean, it's crazy to even have a car in D.C. because wherever you park, it's
going to cost you a fortune, and you're probably going to get mugged and have
your car stolen."
“You know, we took shelter in the Capitol building. …
Sleeping in the office is a safety calculation,” Burlison added.
