Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner represents everything wrong with Democratic politicians. Since being elected in 2017, violent crime has skyrocketed in the city, with Philadelphia setting a record for homicides in 2021, and almost setting records in 2020 and 2022. Carjackings also hit record highs earlier this decade under Krasner’s watch. He’s a radical ideologue who implemented criminal justice policies that have repeatedly kept criminals out of jail and on the streets, making the city more dangerous for innocent Philadelphians.

However, his undemocratic and intolerable approach to dissent and opposing political views also raises red flags. Consider the district attorney’s interaction last month with Frank Scales, a 22-year-old Republican activist who opposed Krasner’s policies, which went viral in a video. During the exchange, Philadelphia’s DA appeared to grab Scales’s phone, which was being used to record the video. Then, later, called him “anti-American,” told him to go read Mein Kampf, and asked, “Were you not breastfed?”
