Kellyanne Conway questions the competence of Philadelphia mayor after he seeks federal action on gun control
By John Wagner August 15 at 1:33 PM
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Thursday questioned the competence of Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) after he made a plea for state and federal action on gun control in the wake of this week’s shooting of six police officers in his city.
“What Philly sorely needs is a competent mayor who sufficiently respects and resources our brave men and women of law enforcement,” Conway wrote on Twitter.
She attached a television clip of Kenney from Wednesday night reacting to a standoff with a gunman in a North Philadelphia neighborhood that dragged on for hours and resulted in no fatalities.
“Our officers need help,” Kenney told reporters in the clip. “They need help. They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people’s hands. . . . This government, from the federal and state level, don’t want to do anything about getting these guns off the streets and getting them out of the hands of criminals.”
