WASHINGTON – Today, as Joe Biden tries to save face for his failures on crime, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement:

“Violent crime is ravaging our cities because of Joe Biden and Democrats’ pro-criminal policies. For years, Democrats have refused to condemn destruction in our cities and called to defund the police. Now, in communities across America, homicides rates are higher, retail theft is crushing small businesses, and police departments can’t find officers. It’s no wonder why people feel less safe than when Biden took office: he will always prioritize criminals over families, and he’s not up for the job.”
