White House blames Democratic policy for urban crime in red states

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Left-wing policies such as cashless bail have sparked violent crime trends in cities across the country, including Democratic-run cities in Republican-run states, warned.

“There are crimes in all states, but the crimes in these cities are in cities run by Democrats. If you look at the list of the top 20 high-crime cities in the United States, everyone outside of Louisiana is responsible for the Democrats.

The press secretary is answering the question whether the government will also work with the Republican governor to resolve cities that are shocked by crime, rather than focusing on the jurisdictions run by Democrats in the Blue State. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened criminal crackdowns in Chicago and Baltimore, which are located in democracies, and cities in crimes such as Republican Memphis, Tennessee, have not received the same level of attention for their crime trends.

Levitt believes that the current trend of violent crime is due to the left-wing justice policy, both in the Republican and Democratic states, pointing to Jackson, Mississippi, Mississippi and Birmingham, Alabama.

They all support these disastrous policies that have brought repeated professional criminals back on the streets and further committed violence. ”

After homicide immersion in homicides and more than 2,000 arrests, Trump celebrated the crackdown on DC crimes, taking other cities as examples, and has since floated repeatedly to send the National Guard into cities like Chicago. Local leaders including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker shy away from unnecessary speeches and a form of “authoritarianism”.
