President Joe Biden’s senior adviser Cedric Richmond blamed a nationwide crime surge on guns on Sunday and insisted Republicans defunded the police earlier in the year.
His comments follow an announcement from the Justice Department that it is implementing "cross-jurisdictional firearms trafficking strike forces" in five U.S. cities to track and stop the illegal transfer of firearms amid unprecedented spikes in crime. When asked what is behind the rise in violence, Richmond insisted firearms, including so-called “assault weapons,” were the culprit.
“Well, part of [the crime surge] is the plethora of guns that are flooding the streets of this country, and that's something that the president wants to deal with,” the top adviser said on a segment of Fox News Sunday. “He knows the toll that violence takes on families and especially gun violence and what it's doing over the last 18 months in this country.”

“But look, crime was down in the '90s when we banned assault weapons,” he added. “And so, it's time to ban assault weapons again. The president supports that, he's asked Congress to do that. And you have to look at access to guns when you talk about fighting violent crime.”
You can find it on google...Ex-NY city mayor,Bloomberg stated that to take crime down a notch or twenty,we need to take guns away from black males ages 15 to 26.....
Name them, Cedric. Name the Republicans who defunded the police.
Please tell me that people are paying attention. They are simply farting and blaming it on you. Lean over and lift the cheek for all to see and fart and then point at you and say eeewww you did that. Everyone knows they farted. But please start putting it back on them so they will stop.
Republicans can't defund anything. They have no power in Congress................
This is opposite land. Chris Wallace bought right into this.
Yep, all of that violence in places like northern New England (VT, ME, and NH), the Dakotas, Montana, many parts of Texas, Tennessee, etc. where practically every household has guns. I wonder if this person visited Kennesaw, GA?
I suppose all the Republicans who run Chicago, Detroit, New York city, Portland, Philly, etc.
The Democrats OWN the crime wave, like an albatross around their necks. They do not deserve any credit for their lies, and they deserve to suffer the maximum. Nothing they claim has any basis in fact.
But that’s not what worries them, as truth has always been their enemy. I believe we are past the height of the curve on this one, and idiotic proclamations like this one ring hollow. And like I have always said, lies are like farts, you can’t coverup the smell by farting more.
Truth no longer exists in some areas.
Good points, which the left ignore. The left I beleive want to defend police so that cri e and gun violence skyrocket so that they can then demand gun control. If they can get gun crimes shown I n the news constantly, they think people will panic and demand gun control more than they do now
Liberals by and large are scum
He’s right. Some government black guy, who hasn’t been officially identified, shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, a white woman. Well, gun crime and/or BLM hate on whites.
The real problem isn’t that we know they’re lying, even they know they’re lying, the real problem is will the idiots who continue to vote for them finally look around them and figure out that they’re lying and boot them out?
The AWB had NO impact on crime.
Guns don’t do anything. People use guns for good purposes, and for bad purposes. The problem is that there are far too many people who commit crime with guns. The left plans to let them keep their guns. The people who don’t commit crimes, the non-violent ones, those are the ones that biden will take guns from.
“Always accuse the other side of that which you are doing.”
To the libturd class, when a thug kills someone, it’s the gun that did the killing, thus guns must be taken from the citizens. When cops shoot and kill criminal thugs, it’s the cop’s who are the killers thus the cops are the real danger to us all and they must be eliminated. Square that one with logic and reason if you can.
Cedric! Place the bong on the table and just back away!
Cedric has always been a dumb@$$.
Democrats are magical: All they have to do is state a lie ONE TIME in front of a tv camera and it become an unassailable truth.
