A Democratic New York City councilman plans to testify Monday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has contributed to the "lawlessness" on city streets in a field hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee.

New York City Councilman Robert Holden, who has represented New York City’s 30th district since 2018, told Fox News Digital he is a Democrat but also a life-long New Yorker who has had his "issues" with Bragg since he took over as DA in 2022. Holden told Fox News Digital the crime wave in New York City is on the rise "because of Bragg."

"When Bragg came in, he issued that ridiculous edict that he was not going to prosecute smaller crimes," Holden said. "What do we have in New York City? We have lawlessness on the streets.

The Soros prosecutors are doing a lot of harm to many large cities. For instance, the crime rate in Chicago is the lowest it has been in years simply because criminals are not be charged with their crimes. There, you have a 75% chance of getting away with murder. Democrats crow about the lower crime numbers while ignoring the fact that very few people are being charged for the crimes they commit.

I'm glad to see a NY councilman willing to speak out against Bragg and the lawlessness in NY City.

Represents Queens. Not all of NYC is left wing. Manhattan is the most left wing Borough.

Staten Island is staunchly conservative and i would disagree- these days Brooklyn is as left wing as it gets.

Which part, Downtown?

[God luvs America]

Which part of what? Brooklyn?

The GOP took back some seats in November but the lefties have been moving into Brooklyn the past ten years because they can’t afford manhattan. Now they can’t afford brooklyn!!!
