“Manhattanites are actually the ones causing this damage to themselves,” New York City Councilman Joe Borelli said Monday, commenting on the skyrocketing crime in his city.

In an appearance on Fox & Friends First, Borelli offered an explanation for why New York City crime is up 27.6% and subway felonies are up 40% from last year.

Borelli called the city’s crime problem self-inflicted, because NYC overwhelming elected a soft-on-crime district attorney, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute fewer law-breakers:

“Unfortunately, New Yorkers are learning that you get what you deserve.

“They overwhelming elected this guy, Alvin Bragg, who promised on day one to do exactly what he was doing.

“He’s not lying, he’s not hiding. He’s not shameful of how he wants to treat this office.  And New Yorkers overwhelmingly elected him.”

What’s more, Borelli said, voters elected Democrat Kathy Hochul as governor, even though her opponent, Republican Lee Zeldin, campaigned on a pledge to oust Bragg, in favor of a district attorney willing to enforce the city’s laws and protect its citizens:

And they’re getting it. Every day.

Folks talk about CW2 and folks finally getting fed up, etc etc. There will be a reckoning or whatever.

None of that happens until the law enforcement community , on every level and to include DAs and AGs, makes the conscience decision to side with the Constitution and the people. And outside of some sheriff’s who have said they’re Constitutionalist’s, I don’t see that happening.

Pure and simple.

He’s right. I don’t feel sorry for anyone in NYC. They got what they voted for, and deserve.
