And it’s not just New York. In 2021, violent crime spiked across the country, with fourteen major Democrat-run cities setting new record highs for homicide. The number of brazen carjackings have also surged by as much as 81% in major cities. In a horrifying incident in D.C. last night, a car was stolen with a mother and her child still inside the vehicle.
As Washington, D.C.'s Democrat mayor shuts down small businesses and bans people from eating inside without showing vaccine proof, crime is surging.

Make no mistake, this crime surge is the direct result of Democrats' years-long effort to undermine law enforcement. Biden’s trip to New York City is too little too late from a president who has already made clear he has no interest in standing up to Democrats’ pro-criminal policies.
