‘Liberal district attorneys are watering down criminal codes and outright refusing to prosecute repeat offenders who should be behind bars… [A]t every level of government, Democrats continue to turn a blind eye. Keeping our communities safe is a fundamental governing responsibility. The American people deserve to feel safe in their own streets.’
