Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, vowing to “hunt down” ICE agents, is the behavior of a psychopath with a badge. Year after year, he fails to prosecute the criminals who continue to plague the City of Brotherly Love. The Left’s silence and, in many cases, encouragement of this rhetoric is no different than when they claimed the border was secure while 40,000 people a day were crossing illegally. That is pure hypocrisy. And where is Governor Shapiro? Where are the Democrats? Will they denounce this inflammatory, irresponsible rhetoric that only encourages hostility? Every responsible Democrat must condemn this behavior. Failure to do so only increases the temperature in an already volatile situation, endangering federal law enforcement and communities alike. In turn, Senate Democrats, using the same reckless political playbook, are threatening to shut down the government over federal law enforcement funding. They were willing to shut down the government for 43 days over a health care policy that is no longer a priority for them, hurting the American people for nothing. No results. No gains. And now they are trying it again.
