Philadelphia’s criminal-coddling district attorney, Larry Krasner, has been an unmitigated disaster for the City of Brotherly Love. He works to protect criminals instead of the innocent, resulting in a wave of crime and violence in the city. In every way imaginable, Philadelphia was safer without Krasner than it is with him.
Because of this, Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman has urged state leaders to consider impeachment proceedings against the DA, who won office thanks to financial backing from billionaire George Soros.
“The recent spike in violent crime is a direct result of DA Krasner’s failed policies and his refusal to perform the duties of his office to hold criminals accountable for the crimes that they commit,” Corman said. “His decision to allow more and more criminals to walk free through plea deals and dismissed charges has created an environment in which Philadelphians are no longer safe in their own homes and communities.”
One would presume Krasner would address some of the concerns Corman brought up. But instead, Krasner responded with a blabbering, nonsensical rant that shows he has no answers.
“Considering he just hired Kellyanne Conway to run his primary campaign, nothing about Jake Corman’s stunt today is surprising — from his call for the Legislature to overturn the results of an election their side lost to inaccurately citing the article in the Pennsylvania Constitution outlining the House’s impeachment powers,” Krasner said. “That Corman is lowering the bar in a primary field that includes a senator who attended the Capitol insurrection and bussed Pennsylvanians there says a lot about his party right now.”
Nothing in his statement has anything to do with the substance of Corman’s accusations. Krasner’s response is an embarrassment. Furthermore, it is indicative of how badly he is failing. Threatened with impeachment, all Krasner can do is reply with a straw man fallacy.
If this is how the Stanford-educated attorney defends himself, no wonder he keeps letting criminals walk instead of beating them in court.
