The Walls Are Closing In on Woke DAs

American Greatness

The media wants us to believe record crime spikes arriving on the heels of a series of rogue district attorneys getting into office must be pure coincidence.

 "Throughout America’s run as the freest country in history, we have implemented a broad range of ideas on governance, with varying results. Having a Bill of Rights in our Constitution, for example, was a very good idea. Allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections, not so much.

"Among the notions firmly in the “bad idea” box has been the recent trend of advancing radical, “progressive” district attorneys in a slew of metropolitan areas. These DAs have unleashed a torrent of violent crime, illegal aliens, and general lawlessness that has made these once-sparkling cities unlivable. With residents of these cities pushed to the breaking point, many are beginning now to push back and it may signal the end of this horribly destructive experiment. 

"Installing extremist prosecutors into large U.S. cities has been the pet project of George Soros, the Hungarian-born leftist billionaire who appears fixated on dismantling capitalism in America. By funneling donations through a network of political action committees and nonprofits, Soros has been successful the last few years in getting DAs elected who push through initiatives like eliminating cash bail, “reimagining” the role of police, and assisting criminal aliens to avoid deportation.

"Thanks in large part to fawning coverage from the corporate media and support from leftist politicians in Washington, these radical prosecutors were allowed to put their policies into place. Today, the consequences of those policies can no longer be hidden or explained away. After crime spiked to absurd levels in San Francisco, the residents of that proudly progressive city voted in June to remove their rogue DA Chesa Boudin.  

"On the watch of the Soros-backed Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, the city set an all-time record for homicides in 2021. After Krasner’s now-defunct “Conviction Integrity Unit” helped free Jamir Harris from prison for a 2013 murder, Harris is now wanted for the murder of a 50 year-old Philadelphia man in September.

"In 2021, an investigation by the Immigration Reform Law Institute revealed the extent to which Krasner is turning Philadelphia into a magnet for criminal aliens. Shortly after assuming office in 2017, he appointed immigration attorney Caleb Arnold to consult on criminal cases involving non-citizens.". . .
