The Left’s Desperate Attempt To Deflect on Crime

In recent weeks, the Biden administration and its allies in the corporate media have been attempting to deflect attention from America’s ongoing crime crisis.

The left knows that it is its policies that have led to the increase in crime in most cities since 2016 and now they are politically vulnerable.

But it’s hard to hide dead bodies, shuttered stores, videos of looting in broad daylight, and rampant criminal activity in major Democratic-run cities.

27 of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates are run by Democrats. And 14 of those cities—accountable for 68% of the homicides—have rogue district attorneys backed or inspired by Mr. Soros.

Those prosecutors have enacted pro-criminal, anti-victim policies, as we explain in detail in our book, “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America’s Communities.”

Which raises the question: Why the constant drumbeat and attempt to flip the narrative?

Answer: Because the left knows that it is its policies that have led to the increase in crime in most cities since 2016 and now they are politically vulnerable. In poll after poll after poll after poll, the issue of crime is on voters’ minds, just behind the economy.

And no one believes for one second that Republicans, independents or law-and-order Democrats support pro-criminal, anti-victim, police-hating policies … because they don’t.
