New York governor Kathy Hochul is a case study in denial. The unelected Democrat is in trouble because she won't acknowledge the danger of rising crime. The polls show that crime is once again a matter of national concern, despite her refusal to acknowledge the fact that it is rising.
Hochul blames this sentiment on mass delusion
- "These are master manipulators," she told MSNBC on October 30. "They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not safe."
- The truth is that Hochoul is the one who's out of touch
- Crime has been rising
- Murder and assaults have increased nationwide since 2019
- Voters do not trust Democrats to handle crime
Over the past decade, the movement for criminal justice reform radicalized into advocacy for emptying prisons, or decarceration.
- Progressive prosecutors such as Kim Foxx in Chicago, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, George Gascón in Los Angeles, Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, and Alvin Bragg in New York City refused to press charges for many crimes and sought light sentences for the infractions they did pursue
- In 2019, New York ended cash bail for most felonies and misdemeanors. In 2020, Progressive Democrats began slashing police budgets.
