Laura Ingraham blames Democrat policies for crime surge

Fox News host Laura Ingraham discussed Democrats' policies that she believes are causing huge crime waves across major American cities, Tuesday on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ingraham was referencing an MSNBC contributor, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, who blamed the police for the rising crime rates and advocated for further defunding. Taking aim at Democrats, Ingraham points out the politicization of crime. "Remember, this is exactly what liberals have always wanted. To me, it was obvious since my first criminal procedure class in law school that most Democrats simply don’t see violent crime as a law and order problem at all. They think crime is committed by people who are misunderstood and oppressed, not by people who are a threat," said Ingraham. "But If you’re an evangelical Christian who owns a firearm and flies the American flag, you’re definitely a threat." Ingraham continued to criticize Democrats saying they "exploit" tragedies to "gain political power," but tend to ignore crime that doesn't fit their narrative.
