LAREDO, Texas | The odds of Henry Cuellar being carjacked in his hometown are likely astronomical, like a jillion to one. He is that well-known and, well, carjackings are not all that common in this border town.
But Washington, D.C. - yeah, he gets carjacked there. Yesterday!
This from axios.com: [ Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) was carjacked on Monday night outside an apartment building that houses dozens of fellow House members, according to his office.
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Hugh Carew confirmed a "report of an armed carjacking" in D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood, near Capitol Hill. Cuellar's chief of staff Jacob Hochberg said in a statement that Cuellar was unharmed in the incident.
"As Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, 3 armed assailants approached the Congressman and stole his vehicle," Hochberg said.
"Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement." ]
They say all's well that ends well. Not much else to say.
Many of the comments that came after this story surfaced went to Cuellar being a Democrat and suffering the crime because of his party's so-called liberal crimefighting policies.
He represents the 28th Congressional District.
The knock against 68-year-old Cuellar is that he has voted with Republicans perhaps more than some of the younger GOPers in the House of Representatives...

Cuellar is a DINO - democrat in name only
