In one of the most liberal places in the U.S. — New York City — a Democratic primary for mayorship shows a microcosm of how the majority of the public takes to “defunding the police” campaigns and attitudes.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer, currently leads Maya Wiley, who is endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, by over nine points with 82% reporting in the Democratic mayoral primary.

One of the reasons Adams was leading in prior polls is that people of NYC were made weary with high crime rates. Eric Adams promised to take a tough approach to the streets and Maya Wiley called for defunding the police.

With unpopular support — including in liberal hotspots — for the campaign on police, Democrats have come to realize the loud voices in their party are in fact a minority and are hurting their electoral chances

That's OK, the media will soon "factcheck" that ludicrous claim.

Pathetic and desperate spin.

Add the fact that AOC is telling MSM that reporting this trend in violent crime is simply fear mongering by the right and does not represent what is actually happening.

That’s why having control of all media helps the Dems out

Does this mean Dems will return the money they received from BLM?

Just listen to Cedric Richmond, per him he said it is all of the republicans that did this. No democrats.

Republicans could put a stop to this bullshite narrative right now by putting forth a stand alone police funding bill and watching the democrats run away from it.

But they are weak and ineffective. It’s almost as if they lose on purpose...

Trump was for the lockdowns. My one big negative on him during Covid.

I know it's a stretch but even the most staunch Dem is bound to know that is a lie.

Ol Jen Psaki actually said this during one of her pressers the other day. She said something along the lines of, some may say the Reps are the ones that want to defund the police and some may not.
