This week as Trump is using federal forces to deal with the out of control crime problems in Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser departed for Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts for a ‘family commitment.’
What is it with Democrats and Martha’s Vineyard? It seems to be a favorite destination for members of the party.
Bowser is expected to return to DC on Friday so maybe she just needed to be at an event or something.
FOX News reports:
DC mayor travels to Martha’s Vineyard amid Trump’s federalized crime crackdown of city
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is out of town Thursday after traveling to Martha’s Vineyard for a family matter, Fox News has learned.
The Democrat was not in the District Thursday, and a source confirmed she traveled north to the Massachusetts island vacation hot spot.
The mayor was traveling for a “family commitment,” according to her office. She’s expected back in the city Friday.
“The mayor has a family commitment and had to pick up her daughter,” the mayor’s office said when asked about her trip to Martha’s Vineyard. “She will return to the District tomorrow.”
Bowser made the trip to the Massachusetts island after President Donald Trump federalized the city’s police department Monday after a spate of high-profile crimes.
Some people are suggesting she could do more good by staying in Massachusetts.
DC’s Mayor Bowser is vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard right now. We hope she has a restful time and that she decides to stay there and never come back! https://t.co/A0r7ho7hfV

No doubt the metaphor is chef’s kiss but let’s be honest she’d probably just get in the way. https://t.co/Z7MaTCUjQd

Perhaps Bowser could stay with her friends, the Obamas. They certainly have the room at their sprawling home.
