CNN’s Kirsten Powers: ‘Democrats Have a Pretty Good Record on Crime’ and the Democratic Party Didn’t Support ‘Defund The Police’

‘They just don’t do a good enough job of explaining what they believe’

EXCERPT:

POWERS: “Well, no, I think they’ve been very — they’ve been caught flatfooted on the crime issue. Because the crime issue isn’t something that’s just happening in Democratic states. In fact, it’s happening in Republican states. It’s happening at very high rates. And Democrats have a pretty good record on crime. And yet, they’re not talking about it. And they — in the same way there’s a lot of people in this country who believe the Democratic Party supported defund the police, and they didn’t. Right? And they just don’t do a good enough job of explaining what they believe, in part because they have a base that, you know, has opinions that actually does support defund the police, or has differing opinions, so they’re kind of trying to walk this line. But I do think that they should’ve been more aggressive about it because it is something that is — a lot of people are very concerned about.”
