Brilliant move by a patriot down in Memphis who photobombed a CNN live shot about President Donald Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in the blue city, forcing the reporter to destroy another Democrat narrative, noting that residents do want federal help.
During the CNN live broadcast in Memphis, the reporter was doing a report from Tennessee about Trump making good on his promise to make all of America safer again by sending in the National Guard to assist local law enforcement efforts in the blue-run city in the red state.

As the reporter was talking about Trump's move, a person showed up carrying a large sign that read "Democrats Destroyed Memphis" on one side. On the other side of the sign, it read,
"Thank you, President Trump."
The reporter kept trying to do his report, but the patriot just kept moving to make sure his sign got in the shot several times.
At one point, the CNN reporters said that "more than 50 arrests were made just last night" after the crackdown started. He also said that "Twenty guns have been taken off the street in the last 24 hours."
Finally, he had to acknowledge the sign-carrying patriot.
"You see people like this guy, behind me with the sign," the reporter said. "He has it on both sides… He's hoping that this action by Trump will help make the city safer."
The CNN reporter then threw to a clip of them talking to a neighbor who welcomed the move by the president.

This is a brilliant move by this Memphis resident and very clever! This is the way to get the legacy media to report what's happening, not what they decide is happening in their liberal bubbles.
Earlier in the day, DOJ Attorney General Pam Bondi also reflected on the success of the Memphis Task Force, made up of multiple federal agencies.
"In just 48 hours, our Memphis Safe Task Force has made 53 arrests and seized 20 illegal firearms," Bondi wrote in a post on X. "Yesterday, a missing juvenile was located and three firearms were recovered at the home of a murder suspect. At @POTUS direction, we are making America safe again!"
Later on Wednesday, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, traveled to Memphis and praised the law enforcement agencies involved in helping to fight crime.
“I just cannot thank you enough for what you do…in difficult places, in dark places, in dangerous places where politicians spend a lot of time second-guessing you…We’re not here to second-guess you; we’re here to have your back.” - @SecWar to local law enforcement in Memphis. pic.twitter.com/8VLtm7hR1u

"I just cannot thank you enough for what you do, what you do in difficult places, in dark places, in dangerous places where politicians spend a lot of time second-guessing you," Hegseth told them.
"Second-guessing the impossible decisions you have to make that they will never understand," he added. "We're not here to second-guess you; we're here to have your back. To unleash you to do your job so you come home safely."
"Our department is here to enable you, law enforcement, to do your job," Hegseth continued. "To help protect your facilities, help protect your people, so… that your hands can be untied to secure your city. The Tennessee National Guard is going to be right here having your back."
The move by Trump comes following the massive success in Washington, D.C., after he enacted the federalization of local law enforcement in our nation's capital, leading to crushing violent crime, as RedState reported.
