SHE’S NOT WRONG: Karoline Leavitt Slaps Crime Deniers in Dem-Run Cities Back to Reality: ‘Your Leaders Are Lying to You.’
Democrats are hell-bent on digging in on the wrong side of every 80-20 or even 99-1 issue affecting the American people. Karoline Leavitt is delivering a strong message on one of those issues – crime in big, blue cities such as Washington, D.C., Chicago, or New York City.
That message is intended for those who genuinely believe in a resistance party that assures them everything is fine and crime is not a problem.
“Nothing to see here. Please disperse,” as Leslie Nielsen famously said in the movie The Naked Gun.
The White House Press Secretary addressed those misinformed souls directly today.
“This is our message to Americans in Democrat-run cities nationwide: decline is a choice. You don’t have to live in constant fear of being robbed, raped, or murdered,” she declared. “Your leaders are lying to you — and they have been failing you for decades.”
In the 1990s, in the wake of Rudy Giuliani’s cleanup of New York, Democrat mayors such as Philadelphia’s Ed Rendell at least paid lip service to getting serious about crime. By the 2010, and certainly after 2020, most simply gave up and started spouting sub-Butterfield leftist platitudes a la Brandon Johnson on Monday:
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Putting people in prison is racist, unholy and doesn’t lower violent crime rates.
Please stick with this message, Democrats. pic.twitter.com/1cNsImGxJS
