Democrats Are the Anticrime Party

Wall Street Journal ^ | 5/26/21 | James Carville

[Libloather]

From 1993 to 2019, crime steadily decreased in the U.S. Every president since Bill Clinton inherited a declining crime rate and left office with a further decline in crime rate, until Donald J. Trump came along. During Mr. Trump’s final year in office, violent crimes and homicides spiked. Yet if you tuned into Fox News, you’d draw the conclusion that the Democratic Party is opposed to law and order.

Crime is going to be an issue up and down the ballot in 2022, and many local politicians are already feeling the heat. Now that violent crime is on the rise, we Democrats can no longer afford to sit by passively while Republicans trumpet bellicose law-and-order talking points. If we don’t aggressively begin to own the crime issue and make Republicans respond to their own failures, we risk losing our slim majorities in Congress.

The modern Democratic Party is flat-out better on crime than Republicans. Mr. Trump presided over the greatest crime rise in modern American history. Now it’s time for the Democratic consultant class to stop its bed-wetting on this issue and take this case to the American people: A lawless president created the perfect storm for the crime crisis America now faces.

From beginning to the end, Mr. Trump’s presidency was one long crime wave. He broke laws, obstructed justice and incited violence knowing he wouldn’t be held accountable while in office. Eight of his campaign associates were put in shackles. He pardoned five of them. Corruption became the administration’s oxygen, and Mr. Trump’s stunning display of lawlessness set an example for criminals to crawl out of the shadows and believe they would never be brought to justice. It was also no coincidence that Mr. Trump presided over an all-time low in white-collar crime enforcement.

[Bullish]

The Wall Street Journal isn’t even valuable as toilet paper these days.

[DAC21]

Why the Wall Street Journal even gives this lizard a forum tells you all you need to know about the Wall Street Journal.

[NonValueAdded]

What color is his sky??? Because it sure isn’t blue.

[FreedomForce]

Carville sounds as senile as Biden.

[TalBlack]

Not senile at all. The Democrats have a HUGE crime problem that they are now blaming on Trump.

[Candor7]

Smeagle is back.

Crime rates were up , not because of Trump, but because what was happening in sanctuary cities. Trump was actually making headway against MS 13 andother gangs causing the crime spike. But the Dem approack? Defund Police , immediate bail release in New YorkState, Soros prosecutors in various locations such as Los Angeles who will not prosecute minority criminals.

What Carvell spins is actually jingoistic propaganda. The fact that they are rolling this old prick out of his sordid cave into the light of day is the MEASURE of how afraid they are of President Trump and MAGA.

Carvell must smell Lefty, Commie, Democrat blood in the water, and he is a leach:

[OttawaFreeper]

Somebody ought to remind Carville that beginning in 1993, numerous US states made it easier for law abiding citizens to obtain concealed or open carry handgun permits and that was something very much opposed by him and his Democrat ilk. And guess what, the crime rate continued to drop despite Democrat media fear porn.

[jmcenanly]

The only thing that Trump is guilty of is interrupting the Democrats' plan of total domination. Carville is a bitter political hack.

[originalbuckeye]

My husband and I always referred to Carville as ‘skeletor’.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Absolutely despicable pack of lies. Like everything else said by DEMOCRATS. The party of RACISM and hate.

[Highest Authority]

Car vile is the ugliest low IQ Klinton Kritter on the planet.

[marktwain]

Car vile is the ugliest low IQ Klinton Kritter on the planet.

He is smart enough to know the technique of the big lie.

[rbg81]

Carville wants us to ignore all of the below:

— Violent protest & looting
— Defund (& intimidate) the Police
— New laws back by Democrats that reduce/eliminate bail and are soft on crime
— Soros-backed District Attorneys
— Unfettered illegal immigration with no deportations
— Unequal application of the law

Not gonna happen.

[equaviator]

Carville knows how they cook the books on crime stats.

[SES1066]

Winston Churchill: "There are lies, there are damned lies, and then there are statistics." Selective use of statistics has existed from the very beginning of statistics and this is a case of it. Yes, it can 'convince' the low-information voter and it does supply on-air fodder to the media talking heads.

[PghBaldy]

“From 1993 to 2019, crime steadily decreased in the U.S” -— Does he count the racist riots of Obama? Does he consider the birthrate? The echo from the baby boom ended in the early 1990s. Clinton was from a different era. Obama, and now Biden, push hatred of police and encourage race riots.

[romanesq]

“If we don’t aggressively begin to own the crime issue.”

Serpenthead desperately signaling to the criminal Dems to get ahead of the spiking crime issue in Rat cities and put out a lying screed blaming Republicans.

Good luck with that.

[TexasM1A]

But the Democrats do own the crime issue.
They not only allow it in any jurisdiction that they control, the openly advocate for it.
I slowly see the lights coming on in some folks, maybe it isnt enough, but there are some that are starting to wake up.

[Robert DeLong]

Well, it is now increasing much faster and Trump is no longer in office, yet the Democrats are de-funding police and letting violent criminals out of prison. But nice try chit for brains Carvel.No one is buying your crap.
