Mike Gill has died after he was shot during a carjacking in Washington D.C. last Monday.
Mike Gill, a former member of the Donald Trump administration, has died after being shot during a carjacking in Washington D.C.
His death has sparked fury among conservative commentators, who say that American cities are becoming lawless under President Joe Biden’s administration.
A carjacker, Artell Cunningham, shot Gill on Monday, January 29, while on a crime spree. Cunningham later shot another man dead before police shot and killed Cunningham in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Gill had been the chief operating officer for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during Donald Trump’s presidency and also had a senior position in the CFTC during Barack Obama’s presidency.
«Stolen elections have consequences. Crime in D.C. never would have gotten this bad if Trump were in office. Very sad and tragic. This didn’t need to happen. Prayers to Mike Gill’s family,» she wrote.
Chaya Raichik, creator of the conservative Libs Of Tik Tok social media page, wrote on X on Sunday that Gill’s death is «horrific»
«Democrats have turned D.C. into a lawless hellhole and this is the tragic result. RIP Mike Gill. Praying for his family,» she added.
Even before Gill’s death, conservative commentators had said that the shooting showed that American cities were becoming lawless.
