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.

I would add to the list, the disastrous “No Bail” policy that NYC instituted in January 2020, emptying the criminals from jail, back onto the streets.
“The modern Democratic Party is flat-out better on crime than Republicans. “
Despite the democrats commit the crimes, refuse to prosecute crimes, have laws in Blue States against prosecuting criminals, let criminals out of prison and jails, and seek to overturn criminal laws????
Check any prison, not too many republicans in them.
Clumsy attempt at gaslighting. I doubt even the average dhimmicrat believes this tripe.
2020 was one long Antifa and BLM riot, approved by Democrat mayors and governors.
... because if they have their way, they will decriminalize everything (except being white, conservative, or a man).
Apparently Carville realizes the Dems are vulnerable on crime and is worried. He’s rallying them to bonzai charge their way out of it with the big lie that it’s Trump’s fault. Carville knows full well it’s a dishonest move, but he’s a tactician and a leftist so there you go.
Why I don’t subscribe to the WSJ.
Carville is still the idiot he always proved himself to be, and this paragraph of his demonstrates it:
“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.”
It takes an idiot to think that Presidents have more to do with stemming crime, or allowing for more of it, than do state and local governments, their laws and policies, their courts and their prosecutors.
Carville is lookjng at the hole, not the donut.
I’ve never seen a picture of this guy. Does he actually look like Smeagol??
What a moron! Stupidity reeks from this one!
I see that Carvile’s mental stability has not improved, nor has his dishonesty.
>>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.
Lies by ommission are damned lies.
George Soros has been buying Rat District Attorneys from coast to coast and they have been cutting loose violent criminals and eliminating bonds.
Actions have consequences, Serpenthead.
>>Mr. Trump presided over the greatest crime rise in modern American history.
What hand did Antifa, MS13, BLM, and other factions of the Rat Machine have in that, Serpenthead?!!

Harris’s record as a prosecutor was representative of a politics of the past. The nation has moved on.
News broke on Tuesday that Kamala Harris was ending her run for president. While there are a number of reasons her candidacy was not successful, chief among them was her decision to brand herself a “progressive prosecutor.” She was not, at least not by today’s standards.
It is understandable that Harris would want to claim the progressive prosecutor label—it is trending nationally now. It signals to voters that a candidate will break from the failed tough-on-crime policies of the past. In the last five years, reform-minded candidates across the country have run and won top prosecutor posts on a message of ending money bail, refusing to prosecute low level drug crimes, and vows to prosecute police officers who shoot unarmed civilians—who are almost always black and brown men.
If Democrats are the anticrime party, why did Hitlery Rotten Clinton commit so many of them?
Carville is living in the past. The Dem Party he is talking about is extinct under its new socialist/communist leadership.
That moniker was better suited to Alan Colmes. I prefer "serpent head" to describe Car-vile.
