ATL crime rises, Dems pro-crime agenda unpopular

Axios reports “Democrats, in private and public, are warning that rising crime — and the old and new progressive calls to defund the police — represent the single biggest threat to their electoral chances in 2022.”

In Atlanta, murders are up, and shootings have increased by 40%. Buckhead, an Atlanta neighborhood, wants to separate itself from the city to keep its residents safe. 

But if Democrats are so afraid of being labeled weak on crime, why do they continue supporting efforts to defund and even abolish the police?

And why haven’t Atlanta Congresswoman Lucy McBath and Carolyn Bourdeaux stood up against their party’s platform to Defund the Police?
