“Of course, this Democrat, Soros-backed DA is upset that the president is taking bold action to crack down on violent crime,” said White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson to Fox News. “Philly has allowed crime to run rampant and provided sanctuary to violent criminal illegal aliens. And George Soros is funding protests against law and order in DC.”
