Pirro responded to this question at the end of a presser about the United States' indictment of Haitian warlord "Barbecue" on the charge that he used a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti to help him secure funding in violation of U.S. sanctions.

Since Barbecue lives in Haiti and there's been no announcement of how they'll arrest the guy, the press conference itself was less memorable than this exchange at the end:

Reporter: 'The department issues a press release hailing dropping crime rates at the end of it. What changed?'

Pirro: 'It's never enough. ... It's never enough. You tell these families crime has dropped. You tell the mother of the intern who was shot going out from McDonald's near the Washington Convention Center, "Oh, crime is down." You tell the kid who was just beat to hell and back with a severe concussion and broken nose that crime is down. No, that falls on deaf ears, and my ears are deaf to that, and that's why I fight the fight.
