Joe Biden needs to tell Democrats at the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference today to stop defunding the police and enforce the law.
More than 20 Democrat-run cities defunded the police – a move applauded by Kamala Harris. Now, Democrats like Manhattan’s radical District Attorney are giving criminals a pass for assault, robbery, illegally using a weapon, and violating our immigration laws.
Jen Psaki says there’s “no basis” that Democrats are “soft on crime.”

Not only that, Democrats are actively releasing criminals back on the street. In New York City, 23% of the criminals released under bail “reform” were rearrested on a felony charge. Crime is up 60% in New York City this year.
Instead of condemning these Democrats, Biden has told cities to “follow New York’s lead.” Meanwhile, the Biden administration is literally laughing at Americans struggling through a surge in carjackings, a record number of homicides, and crisis-level retail thefts around the country.

Enough laughing. Enough obfuscation. If Biden actually cared about addressing crime, he’d tell Democrats to enforce the law. But Biden doesn’t care, so all we’ll get is more empty lip service while Democrats mock Americans dealing with the consequences of their policies.
