Longtime Republican operative Karl Rove said on Tuesday that crime is a “big problem” for the Democratic Party and warned that some within the party, including New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, don’t understand how their posture on the issue hurts the party’s “label.”
“This is a big problem for the Democrats. The Democrats don’t seem to understand — certain Democrats, like the socialist running for mayor of New York — do not seem to understand the problems that this represents for their party, and their party’s label. They only need to look to recent history to see how being soft on crime, and adopting the methods of sanctuary cities blow up in their faces,” Rove said during his appearance on Fox News’s “America Reports.”
Rove, who is a Fox News contributor, then listed off recent examples of progressive district attorneys losing in recent elections in cities such as Portland and Los Angeles.
Mamdani, in a recent speech, referenced Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) as examples of how to push back against the Trump administration’s crackdown on so-called sanctuary jurisdictions.
“So Mamdani is, you know, go ahead and keep doing it. But what it’s going to cause is a problem for the Democratic Party not simply in New York City, but nationwide,” Rove said. “The bluest of the blue, the big urban centers create problems for themselves when they have Democratic leaders like Mamdani who are soft on crime and pro-sanctuary city.”

Crime a problem for Dems? Talk about a blockbuster! Karl Rove showing why he’s still on the forefront of politics.
“The forefront of politics”
Sir you underestimate Rove once again. He is in the vanguard of the revolution. /S
Good old Turd Blossom and his white chalkboard :P
Rove still doing what he can to help RINO’s and Democrats.
Paging Captain Obvious!
We HAVE been living in Orwell's '1984.' Truth has been shoved so far underground in the past Fifty years that it's always intriguing when 'The Truth' is DARED to be spoken!
Somewhere in the White House Trump is joking with his buddies: “Now watch me get them to come out in favor of harvesting Granny’s organs...”
Will this clown ever go away?
Longtime Republican operative Karl Rove...?
Hmm, Ham.
LOL!
Pro crime candidates.
Really? Dems just won a seat in Iowa that we won in November. The guy died and now the Dems got it. Not only that but won by 9 percent! Oh and Iowa no longer has supermajority. Can’t wait for the excuses to rapidly arrive.
Karl promoted to Captain...
Obvious.
I remember when people around here called him a genius.

They are also for violent border hoppers, and for terrorists in general. With Mamdani they make themselves Jihadists.
They also own the gerrymander evil having gerrymandered their states, in some places not allowing a single Republican representative despite having counties that did not vote democrat.
All this before the mid-terms. CO cannot be happier with all the gifts they have been giving to their opposition along with their nauseating press in a continuous stumble mode.

The DemonicRat’s crime problem is that almost all criminals are DemonicRats.
Bingo
