The Problem With "Woke" Prosecutors

Today the House Judiciary Committee is conducting a hearing called the “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan,” listening to testimony from the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives to violent crime.

Rather than taking action to stop dangerous criminals and deadly attacks, the city’s district attorney, Alvin Bragg, is focused on prosecuting former President Trump.

Maybe there wouldn’t be so many victims to talk about if DA Bragg was actually doing his job, putting violent offenders behind bars. The problem, as we’ve reported, is that Bragg has been hyper-focused on searching for even a grain of a crime to prosecute former President Donald Trump.

One witness, the mother of slain U.S. soldier Hason Correa (a husband and father to three young children) who was stabbed to death in Manhattan, gave emotional testimony, calling out the Manhattan DA for his treatment of her family after the tragedy, and rightly pointed the responsibility at Bragg’s office as well as city leadership.

But it appears that DA Bragg is more interested in chasing Trump in an effort to bolster his own future political aspirations than he is in keeping his citizens safe. It’s an outrage. With all due respect, Mr. District Attorney, do your job. Get dangerous criminals off the street. Don’t enable them for political points.
