incident. wait the da there is and murray xu burt, a tough on crime form robe look and who left the party during trump s presidency. she s now an independent. that has not stopped her from blaming democrats for a rise in the murder rate. just listen to her on fox in january criticizing progressive da s like alice george gascón and san francisco s chase aberdeen. if they want to dismantle the system, they try to talk tough, it s really just a show. when you actually follow them through with those cases, what we are seeing is that they are not really been tough on crime. what she conveniently did not mention was that homicides have also risen drastically in sacramento county, her county. last year, the city of sacramento saw its highest murder rate for 15 years. what is happening here is that republicans and a lot of democrats are falling back on their lazy tough on crime rhetoric and policies before progressive criminal justice reforms even have a chance to work or be implemented
