Under Biden, criminals lack for nothing

Rapid Response

During the campaign, Biden pledged a “safe America… safe from crime and looting.” He has delivered the opposite.

Brazen robberies have been hitting Democrat-run jurisdictions in Los Angeles, Chicago, and the San Francisco Bay Area, including on Black Friday. During Biden’s supply chain crisis, it seems the only people not lacking are those who are a part of organized crime.

Americans across the country are scared as the attacks have grown in violence and scale:

  • A woman in Los Angeles: “I haven’t been coming out as often to this area just because I know stores have been getting hit.”
  • Carla, who lives in Roseville, California: “I used to go to San Francisco every Christmas…I don’t want to go now, it frightened me seeing the news.”
  • San Francisco area resident: “I probably saw 50 to 80 people, in like ski masks, crowbars, like bunch of weapons. They were looting the Nordstrom right here.”
  • A woman living in the Los Angeles area: “Very disturbing because now I’m reluctant to come to Nordstrom, or even the mall for that matter, to come in and make my purchases.”
  • California woman: “So it is kind of scary. The fact that this had happened now, makes me wonder if I should even walk in there.”

Former San Francisco Police Department Deputy Chief James Dudley laid the blame squarely at the feet of Democrat politicians: “Until there’s a response, until there’s a political will and legislative efforts to support police efforts to stop this sort of activity, we’re going to see it proliferate and continue.”

Even MSNBC is blasting Democrats for their pro-criminal policies that have allowed our cities to spiral completely “out of control.”

But Joe Biden is nowhere to be found. If Democrats are unwilling to keep our cities safe, they should step aside for leaders who will actually back our police and stand up to criminals.
