    Shreveport — the most populous city in the northwest Louisiana district that Johnson has represented since 2017 — has a higher crime rate than D.C. and outpaces the state of Louisiana as a whole, according to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics. CrimeRate, an independent analysis of crime statistics, deems Shreveport’s violent crime as being “higher versus other cities of the same size.”

    “FBI statistics, actually, [show] violent crime per 100,000 residents higher in Shreveport last year than Washington, D.C.,” CNN’s John Berman told Johnson on air Friday.

    If DC’s crime is bad enough to require the National Guard, why not Shreveport?
