Americans worry about soaring crime rate — Democrats respond by standing up for criminals

Democrats have managed to bypass voters and unilaterally put criminals back on the street—with disastrous results

In 2020, in the wake of widespread rioting, the Democratic Party added a new position to their official platform: “Democrats support eliminating the use of cash bail.”

Since the summer of 2020, mainstream Democrats in Congress have pushed to end cash bail and pretrial detention. Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s BREATHE Act would provide grants to states that end the bail system, eliminate pre-trial detention entirely for most federal felonies and “provide a roadmap for prison abolition.”

In October 2021, President Joe Biden followed suit with a “National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality,” which calls for ending cash bail.

While Democrats embraced radical, soft-on-crime policies, homicides jumped more in 2020 than they have in a single year in American history and continued to rise in 2021. Sensibly, American voters took the opposite position—crime became the number one issue they were most concerned about, per a July USA Today poll.
