Tom Cotton Slams GOP’s ‘Misguided’ Support For Criminal Justice Reform, Calls To Remove All Soros-Backed Prosecutors – By Tim Meads (Daily Wire) / December 30, 2021
As numerous pundits and politicians are calling for more bipartisanship from Congress, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) is ringing the alarm bells on one issue that he says the GOP must show “moral clarity” on — winning the war on crime by having a “law and order” approach while working to remove every single George Soros-backed prosecutor in the nation.
Cotton called for a renewed effort from the GOP last week in an opinion piece titled “Recall, Remove & Replace Every Last Soros Prosecutor.” His column came just two days before Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) was carjacked at gunpoint in Philadelphia, a city whose Soros-backed prosecutor has come under fire for his lenient policy on crime.
“Last year, our nation experienced the largest increase in murder in American history and the largest number of drug overdose deaths ever recorded. This carnage continues today and is not distributed equally,” Cotton observed. “Instead, it is concentrated in cities and localities where radical, left-wing, George Soros progressives have captured state and district attorney offices.”
“These legal arsonists condemn our rule of law as ‘systemically racist’ and have not simply abused prosecutorial discretion, they have embraced prosecutorial nullification. As a result, a contagion of crime has infected virtually every neighborhood under their charge,” he continued.
