Commentary: Once Again, Polling Shows Voters Trust the GOP More to Handle Crime, Inflation, the Economy and More

While prominent Democrats have become crime-apologists — arguing for defunding the police, allying with disruptive protestors, releasing criminals into American cities, and attempting to block President Trump’s deportations of illegals — Americans agree with the President’s characterization of major cities as “overtaken by violent gangs and criminals”.
