Delusional DNC Speaker Says, “Most Americans” Don’t Care About Carjackings and Violent Migrant Crime
A high-profile speaker at the recent Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) summer meeting urged fellow Democrats not to copy President Trump’s tough-on-crime approach – arguing that migrant crime, carjackings, and other public safety threats “don’t matter to that many Americans.”
Insha Rahman, the vice president for advocacy and partnerships at the Vera Institute of Justice, made the shocking and delusional statement as she framed Trump’s Washington, DC, crime crackdown as a “huge opportunity” for the Democratic Party.
“You want to talk about the crime issues voters care about,” Rahman explained to Democrats, as she shared the results of a recent poll commissioned by Vera’s political advocacy arm, showing which types of crimes respondents believe will most impact them personally.
The poll from the George Soros-funded think tank showed gun violence at the top of the list (36%), followed by homelessness and public drug use (34%), muggings or assaults (34%), opioids and fentanyl abuse (31%), retail theft (29%), carjackings (29%) and migrant crime (28%).
“Where does Trump go?” Rahman continued. “Migrant crime, carjackings, the really lurid, awful stuff that is a crazy, crazy visual.”
“Don’t take the bait because most Americans are more worried about how we are going to address mental health issues, the visible homelessness that we see on streets, and how we deal with mental health and other issues that drive the sort of random incidents that scare all of us – that’s what you should be talking about.”
Even though nearly a third of Americans, according to Vera’s own polling, expressed concern about the “lurid” crime Rahman accused Trump and Republicans of hyper-focusing on – she implored Democrats not to talk about those issues.
“Don’t take the bait and talk about migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually don’t matter to that many Americans,” Rahman said.
The Vera Institute VP suggested Democrats should instead discuss “the policy proposals that we think work,” and specifically cited “cashless bail.”
Rahman argued that Democrats should focus on addressing mental health and economic issues rather than calling for more policing.
The thrust of the presentation was that being tough on crime “reinforces the Republican brand” and doesn’t “build a brand for Democrats,” who will be hammered by the GOP regardless of their position on crime, according to Rahman.
She also urged Democrats not to bring up local crime statistics, even if they show a decline, because Trump would take credit for the drop.
The Trump administration has touted the DC crime crackdown as a major success and has floated taking similar measures in other Democrat-run cities.
“Don’t be afraid of the crime debate. Lean all the way in. Call out what Trump is doing and say the reason crime is going down, our community is becoming safer, it’s because of us,” Rahman said.
The speaker singled out Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), and Democratic Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott as particularly good messengers for the “serious about safety and solutions” approach to the crime debate.
Rahman also pointed to a statement from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) – where the congressman slammed the DC crime crackdown as an “Epstein file” distraction and argued that “graffiti seems to be pretty sparse” in the nation’s capital – as a particularly bad response to tough-on-crime Republicans.
Please take the lady’s advice!!!! We can get rid of a lot of lefty liberals!!!
This woman is the most stupidest person in the democrat party. We were the land of law and order until the democrats allowed lawlessness into our society. Look at all the chaos it has created from the last administration. Democrats are just plain ignorant and clueless. Laws were instituted for civility in our nation. How can society even suggest that crime is alright. People die on the streets or elsewhere and democrats don’t want to hold criminals accountable? In what society should that even be allowed.
The democrat party has failed the American people, and Americans should understand that it is the most reckless way to run a government.
For the sake of our children, do not let the democrats get any type of control and power over our government!
If the democrats were to get total control again we wouldn’t have a country anymore. And they are looking forward to having the chance to turn the country into a dictatorship. That’s why they want to destroy the 2nd Amendment. And I predict that we will be in the middle of a civil war before the ink is dry on the certification of the stolen elections
Well, the dems are gerrymandering an increase in dem controlled districts. But they could still lose seats in congress, because many dems could decide not to vote for the woke leftists.
God, you corrupt dems are so f’ing stupid, you just don’t get it, tell that to the victims that they shouldn’t care about crime in their cities…GET OUT
Lisa; you mean like the Epstein victims?
Dunger what does that have to do with Lisa’s statement? Oh right. You are insinuating that Trump messed with young girls. Assholes like you would probably take part in it. But keep spreading your lies. Trump is still here and he’s winning. And Maxipad Waters isn’t going anywhere with the 25th amendment. That monkey bitch is a hero of you fools who have no idea except hate Trump. Don’t be surprised at the outcome. You figure it out you ignorant prick.
Lisa don’t let Dunger get to you. According to his rants he’s about 100 bricks shy of a load
Seth, be a gentleman; you don’t need to swear or call me names. At least if you have something to say beyond petty name calling.
Tell that to the Epstein victims that they shouldn’t care about seeing the files and client lists that Trump is hiding.
I insinuated nothing about Epstein’s best friend. You did though.
Send this lunatic back to where she came from. The idea that any body who commits crime, America doesn’t care. We have enough crime already being carried out by legal citizens, we don’t need anymore from the illegals who only came in illegally to set up gang and crime shops to terrorize American citizens.
All crime is anti law. We are a nation of laws, and the democrats want to let criminals off without any consequences. I’m thankful to God for sending President Trump to instill back the laws that democrats don’t want to punish when they are broken. The idea also of “misdemeanor crimes”! Crime in any form is punishable. It is like Sin; all sin is transgression against a God of order and Commandments. It was installed for humans to treat each other with respect. The “little white lies”; they are sin as well. Sin is sin with no excuse and criminality works the same way. And you punish to correct the law breaker.
Manny, you mean like Trump releasing 1,500 1/6 convicts including 160 cop beaters and a dozen seditious conspirators? Or the pedophiles, sex abusers and drug dealers he let go because they quid probquo in money ir services?
We need more tanks and soldiers in our cities. Make American Beirut Again.
Danger we can tell you are dem and agree with their anti American rants. God help you and maybe you will wake up and do as God wants. Remember our time on this earth is borrowed and we need to do what’s right. The demon rats are on satans side. Scary thought don’t you think. Have a blessed day..
Dunger you know that very few percentage wise were punished for their crimes during the Floyd bullshit. And government agents are still being attacked and harassed. So STFU with your bullshit. Trump pardoned good patriots. Just don’t try to steal another election
Barrydung; Floyd? What does that have to do with Trump pardons? And you are wrong; plenty arrested, convicted, doing time, no pardons.
Govt agents harassed? Where? In your dreams? Well, if it’s masked, unmarked, assholes trying for warrantless arrests, to disappear humans to third world Trump death camp gulags, GOOD.
Trump was found guilty trying to rig the 2016. His lawyers pled guilty to trying to rig the 2020 and will testify against Trump if he dares to face his peers in court. But TACO. What you got that’s not more horseshit about Dems rigging an election? Another county committee? Dogcatcher?
Cop beaters are only patriotic to the likes of you. Seditious conspirators are your heros; I know them as unpatriotic criminals that I scrape off the bottom on my shitkicker Frye boots. .
Do better. FIND SOME FACTS.
Mmj: yes, I am a democrat, but you are wrong to say I agree with her rant. And you are wrong that it’s unAmerican. At least you have no evidence presented yet.
I am most certainly not on satan’s side; you are wrong again.
I do my best to follow the good book.
BUSTED for lack of proof.
