How Democrats stir bigotry and division

The epidemic of attacks on Jewish people in New York City and the tri-state area is not an acute, unpredictable event, but a horrific outgrowth of Democratic Party and liberal establishment attitudes and policies.

Even knowing who the attackers were didn't stop Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, from deflecting and spinning.

Erielle Davidson at the Federalist noted, "When questioned about the attack on the Jersey City kosher supermarket earlier this month, Mayor de Blasio ignored the motivations of the perpetrators, who belonged to a radical left-wing fringe group known as the Black Hebrew Israelites. Instead, he deflected in a bizarre maneuver, opting to discuss the scourge of white supremacy and private militias." James Higgins, the organizer of "The Monday Meeting," the center-right coalition in New York, noted on Twitter, "Might it be that progressive encouragement of 'The Squad' and of BDS is a dog whistle that has sent anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City up 53% in one year?" Might it, indeed.

Homelessness, drug use, tent cities, human excrement on the sidewalks and crime now define that previously great state.

"Baltimore could wrap up 2019 with its highest per-capita homicide rate on record as killings of adults and minors alike for drugs, retribution, money or no clear reason continue to add up and city officials appear unable to stop the violence," The Associated Press reported.

As National Review put it, "Baltimore, a once-great American city, has all but imploded thanks to decades of corrupt leadership, crime, and the progressive policies now trumpeted by Democratic presidential hopefuls as solutions to the country's cultural and economic divisions." Whether it be New York, California, Baltimore or any other liberal city and state, these realities prove one thing: Policy and leadership matter.

So one must ask: Why do the Democrats in these cities continue to deny the truth? Perhaps it's because the only thing they value is their own power, to be preserved at any cost.
