Democrats Blame Crime On Guns, Not Criminals In Manhattan House Judiciary Hearing
< < Go Back
emocrats on the House Judiciary Committee spent Monday’s Manhattan field hearing blaming guns, not the criminals behind them, for the nation’s crime epidemic.
The committee held a field hearing in Manhattan as New York City deteriorates from an American centerpiece of capital ingenuity into a treacherous urban jungle where far-left prosecutors allow criminals to control the streets.
“Today’s hearing is about the administration of justice, and keeping communities safe, something that has always been a central focus of the House Judiciary Committee,” opened House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.
Nadler called on lawmakers to “stem the iron pipeline” in reference to “the illicit flow of illegal firearms from states that do less to protect their citizens to New York and elsewhere.” Nadler also argued to move the committee’s hearing to Jordan’s home state of Ohio with claims that red states, not blue states, are at the center of the nation’s crime wave. Local officials responsible for the nation’s unsafe streets, however, are Democrats.
