New DA Judge Pirro wants to lower age of criminal ‘responsibility to 14’, vows to make D.C. ‘safe again’

U.S. District Attorney Jeanne Pirro was confirmed to her post in the nick of time.

Following the D.C. beating of ex-DOGE member Edward Coristine, affectionately known as “Big Balls,” President Trump said he is considering federalizing the nation’s capital over rampant crime.

Cortistine heroically intervened when he allegedly witnessed an attempted carjacking near the White House. He fought off as many as 10 teens, two being just 15 years old.

Pirro, followed up on Trump’s statement in agreement and lowered the boom.

“The D.C. Council, and the president is right, they have got to stop their coddling. Number one, we’ve got to lower the age of responsibility to 14. I’m tired of having these kids commit crimes — and they are crews, not gangs, in D.C.,” Pirro said during her appearance on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle.”

“We’ve got an intern, you said it in your open, an intern from college, he gets shot going out for McDonald’s at 10:30 at night. This kid is trying to help his girlfriend or his friend to a car. He gets assaulted and, but for a cop going by, they would have — had they gotten him on the ground, they would have stomped him and finished him,” Pirro told host Laura Ingraham. “He was able to stay standing. This has to end.”

“Youth violence is on the rise, not just in D.C., but across the country,” Pirro continued. “And if you think that these kids need to be coddled, and they need to be hugged, they need to have consequences,” Pirro said on Fox News, where she was previously a co-host. “They need to understand that enough is enough, that we’re going to put them in jail or some kind of youth rehabilitation detention facility, and not allow the D.C. Council, one of whom I just recently indicted, to take cover for these kids.”

“Here’s the thing, D.C. is the nation’s capital. People come here for pride and patriotism, not to get assaulted, carjacked or shot, get caught in a crossfire,” she said.

Pirro doubled down with her own post on X, saying she and Trump are committed to holding criminals accountable and will make D.C. “safe and clean again.”

“If you don’t buy into it, you’re going to have to deal with us,” Pirro warned.
