New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said at a press conference Thursday the U.S. should "Stop building" jails if we want to reduce the inmate population.
"It is not acceptable for us to use jails as garbage bins for human beings. We need to treat people and see them as human," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"If we want to reduce violent crime, reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them." "The answer is to make sure we actually build more hospitals, we pay organizers, we get people mental health care," she said.
Rather than condemning the spike in violent crime across the country, Ocasio-Cortez seemingly romanticized a society with no laws.
The left continues to rail against law and order by calling for the defunding of law enforcement agencies.
Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democrats called for Biden to reject federal contracts with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March.
Aside from the summer of rage that the left perpetually endorsed as peaceful protests, not riots, Democrats called for no more jail time for marijuana possession a year ago.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
