Wisconsin lawmakers blast liberal crime policies after Waukesha attack: 'Violent felons need to stay in jail'

Wisconsin state lawmakers advocate for change following the Waukesha parade tragedy as residents continue to stir over why the suspect was originally released in the first place.

Republican State Sen. Chris Kapenga joined "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday to discuss the tragedy, arguing victims need to be prioritized over criminals.

"There's no narrative about what are we going to do… to stop elevating the rights of criminals above those of victims," Kapenga explained. "And that's the problem we've got is the Democrat Party continues to say the criminals are more important than the victims, and we have to re-balance that."

"Nothing will be done from the top down on the Democratic side," Kapenga explained. "The problem of the soft on crime [approach] that caused this incident, where we've got children and grandmothers and grandfathers who were run over by a vehicle, and unfortunately, some of them passed and others have serious injuries."
