Clueless Democrat: Her Slip Is Showing

Is New York locked with California in a battle to see which state can generate the worst government?

Here’s New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, debating the Republican candidate, Rep. Lee Zelden. Zelden keeps trying to discuss New York’s soaring crime rate, eminently attributable to the Democrats’ “bail reform” policy that keeps violent criminals out of jail and allows them to continue to prey on people.

And what does Gov. Hokum have to say about it?

“I don’t know why that’s so important to you.”

Egad, the woman’s off her rocker. Why should getting knifed or clubbed or pushed onto the tracks while you’re waiting for a subway seem important to anyone? Hokum could easily fire any district attorney who refuses to prosecute criminals–but she doesn’t. Assault and injure someone on the sidewalk, and 15 minutes later they turn you loose again.

Insane public policy. And that’s what Democrats have to offer.

It’d be nice if Hokum encountered one of those subway crimes she just laughs off.

The Democrat plan for America

Democrats have been yelling “Defund the police!” and making it perfectly clear that they prefer criminals to cops.

Now it seems the feeling’s mutual.

With the Democrat National Convention, in Milwaukee, about three weeks away, more than 100 law enforcement agencies have backed out of their agreements to provide security for the convention (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/07/28/why-more-than-100-law-enforcement-agencies-backed-out-of-the-democratic-national-n2573328). It seems they don’t want to put their lives on the line to guard a bunch of Far Left political botflies who hate them. Who woulda thought it?

“New policies” adopted by the city’s Democrat rulers, such as forbidding the use of pepper spray or tear gas to break up a violent riot, have made cops think twice about guarding the convention, said the Milwaukee police chief.

If they can’t use any kind of force to stop a violent mob, what’s left? How are they supposed to do their job?

So… never mind! Let the Dems provide their own security, if they can. They’re the ones who egg the riots on, who never speak against them, who tacitly support them. They’re the ones who think rioting is the way to conduct public affairs. And they think they control it.

Wait’ll they find out that they don’t.
