Here We Go: Hillary Clinton Claims States with Highest Crime Levels are Run by Republicans (VIDEO)

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton joined CNN’s new morning show co-hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlan Collins, on its Wednesday episode after its disastrous debut on Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton came to discuss the global threat to democracy, the refusal of certain Democrats to confront election deniers in their races, Russia’s escalating aggression on Ukraine, Iranians protesting for freedom, and more.

Clinton made the statement during their discussion that Republican-run states have the highest crime rates.

“I want people to be safe. That’s not the Republicans argument, because, of course, if you look at real crime statistics, which they’re not interested in examining, the states with the highest crime levels are states run by Republicans, that’s just a fact,” said Hillary.

“We saw that very clearly in the recent debate in Oklahoma for the governorship when the Democratic candidate said, the crime rate in Oklahoma is higher than it is in New York, and nobody wanted to believe that. They don’t want to solve a problem whether it’s crime, inflation, or anything else. They just want an issue when given a chance to govern. They don’t want the responsibility. We saw that during COVID at the very highest levels of the Trump administration. So when they talk about crime, they’re just trying to gin up all kinds of fear and anxiety in people,” she added.

This is just another lie from the Democrat party’s talking points. Cities with a Democratic mayor and council have the highest crime rates, that’s a fact.

Some of these cities are in Republican-controlled states, but the Democratic mayors and district attorneys who have complete control over the police force and who implemented the new bail reform laws are mostly to blame for the increase in crime.

According to the new analysis of crime data by Heritage.org, it showed that high-crime cities are governed largely by Democrats.

Not surprisingly, of those 30 cities, 27 have Democratic mayors, the exceptions being Lexington and Jacksonville, which have Republican mayors, and Las Vegas, whose mayor is an Independent. And within those 30 cities there are at least 14 Soros-backed or Soros-inspired rogue prosecutors. Those Soros bought-and-paid-for or inspired rogue prosecutors include:

  • Jason Williams, New Orleans Parish District Attorney;
  • Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore City State’s Attorney;
  • Kim Gardner, St. Louis Circuit Attorney;
  • John T. Chisholm, Milwaukee County District Attorney;
  • Larry Krasner, Philadelphia District Attorney;
  • Kim Foxx, Cook County (Chicago) State’s Attorney;
  • Raul Torrez, Bernalillo County (Albuquerque) District Attorney;
  • Mike Freeman, Hennepin County (Minneapolis) Attorney;
  • John Creuzot, Dallas County District Attorney;
  • Glenn R. Funk, Nashville District Attorney General;
  • Santana Deberry, Durham District Attorney;
  • George Gascon, Los Angeles County District Attorney;
  • Chesa Boudin, San Francisco District Attorney; and
  • Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney.

There were 2,554 homicides in those 30 cities through June 2022. In the 14 cities with Soros-backed rogue prosecutors, there were 1,752 homicides, representing 68 percent of homicides in the 30 top homicide cities in the United States.

Every Soros rogue prosecutor listed above is a Democrat.

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton said Paul Pelosi’s attacker David DePape, who is an illegal immigrant, is a member of the Republican cult.

Hillary Clinton tried to turn the crime issue around and blame the Republicans.

Violent crime and murder have spiked in Democrat-run cities because of failed far-left policies and Soros DAs.
