Conservative political commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza, host of the Dinesh D'Souza Podcast, slammed the Biden administration Thursday, after they blamed the vast increase in crime throughout major US cities on lack of gun control instead of failed democratic policies like defunding police departments and district attorneys that refuse to prosecute criminals.
"There's been a massive spike in crime in cities around the country…and the Biden administration could no longer ignore this," D'Souza said.
"Now the spike in crime is quite obviously the result of two things. First, defund the police. There have been defunded police efforts in some of these cities, there have been cut backs in other cities," D'Souza continued. "Certainly in every city, there has been an effort to demonize the police by the left to reduce the morale of the police to make the police force less effective."
"One of the greatest deterrents to crime, the cops, are now being pushed back by the left and by the Democrats who control these cities. So you weaken the cops and you're going to get more crime," D'Souza added.
"The other way to get more crime is to make sure that the targets of crime, the homeowners, for example, don't have guns and that's been another key part of the Biden agenda. Of course, many of these cities have strong gun control laws. You can't have a gun unless you get special permission in cities like San Francisco, Washington, DC, the boroughs of New York and so on. The criminal becomes emboldened."
"The criminals are emboldened because one of the two major political parties has become a criminal's lobby. I don't just mean the fact that they are weakening the cops, they also are electing DAs. That's been a huge push of progressive money, people like George Soros, to get left-wing DAs and left-wing prosecutors elected in the city. So even if you actually catch the bad guy, the prosecutor goes, "Let him go.'"
D’Souza slammed President Joe Biden for comparing the January 6 riot at the US Capitol to the need for stronger gun control legislation when the individuals that entered the Capitol were unarmed.
"These shameless characters on the left, these Biden people, they don't even bother to put two and two together. They don't think through the logic of what they're saying. The whole notion that the real problem on the street is law abiding gun owners," the conservative author and filmmaker added. "So my prediction is you have this absurd, pretentious battle against crime. They feel like they have to do something, but of course, they're the cause of the problem."
"The Democrats are culpable from the top to the bottom. They're responsible for the problem. They're also responsible for the root cause of the problem. And what is the likelihood in that case context that they are going to be the ones to fix the problem?" D'Souza asked. "Not likely."
