DNC speaker dismisses concerns over migrant crime, carjackings at summer meeting: ‘Not a top concern for most Americans’
A Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting speaker sparked backlash Monday after suggesting that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans,” urging Democrats not to adopt President Donald Trump’s tough-on-crime rhetoric heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
Insha Rahman, vice president for advocacy and partnerships at the progressive Vera Institute of Justice, addressed DNC members during a strategy session, downplaying concerns about violent crime tied to migrants and carjackings. Instead, she encouraged Democrats to focus on issues such as mental health, homelessness, and criminal justice reform.
During a presentation on crime at the DNC's summer meeting, a lady from left-wing think tank the Vera Institute tells them that "migrant crime and carjackings are things that don't matter to many Americans."
“Where does Trump go?” she asked rhetorically. “Migrant crime, carjackings, the really lurid, awful stuff that is a crazy, crazy visual. Don’t take the bait,” she advised. “Most Americans are more worried about how we address mental health issues, visible homelessness, and the drivers behind the random incidents that scare all of us.”
It’s reflex, whatever orange man is for they think they have to push back. If he said he likes puppies and children and all kids deserve a puppy, they’d say no they don’t…it’s humorous but unfortunately politics today. And both sides do it in the USA
Seriously speaking, Trump is slowly but surely focused on doing a good job of exposing corrupt people like that who're basically parasitical rif-raff.
Look at the bright side, more and more and more people are responding to the exposure of these wicked leftist/liberals by joining the conservative movement. They have zero wins and fooling absolutely nobody as their ship slowly sinks - under its own dead weight. We're witnessing the slow death of the Democratic party and that's a good thing, it needs to be put out to pasture as Trump rights our ship. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses and move on.
And it's just been 6 months into Trump's presidency. Patience is a huge virtue.
