Even A Trump-Hating Governor Calls Out Democrats’ Crime “Doesn’t Exist” Narrative

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

MSNBC has wall to wall programming claiming that crime isn’t really out of control in Democrat controlled cities and that Trump’s crackdown has been facilitated by a ‘manufactured crisis’, but even a Trump hating governor refused to go along with the talking point.

The failing network brought on former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who refused to back Trump and infamously endorsed Joe Biden, presumably thinking he would slam Trump again, but no.

“I heard the term ‘manufacturing crisis. This is a manufactured crisis,’” Kasich remarked, urging “No! It’s not! It is a crisis!”

This MSNBC host just got a brutal fact check by former Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the alleged “manufactured crisis” surrounding crime in blue cities.

This may be the last appearance for Kasich, as he just broke their entire narrative apart.

“Have you been in Chicago? Have you been in Baltimore?” Kasich asked the host, adding “My daughter went to school in Chicago. The day she graduated there were shootings and killings right outside of her building.”

“And in Baltimore, I had friends that go down to Johns Hopkins get treated for medical conditions. I mean they are nervous about ever going there. There were parts of Baltimore that he tells me he wouldn’t go into,” Kasich continued.

“And this is not some right wing person. This is somebody who wants to be able to go in our great cities and be able to be safe,” he further emphasised.

“Now, I do think it’s important that if you’re gonna do this, you gotta define the mission,” he added, referring to Trump’s federal crackdown.

“You’ve got to talk about your authority. And I think one of earlier guest was saying, well maybe there are narrow ways to do it. I agree with that. But that just then says that there are ways to do it,” he added.

“Look, what’s been happening in Chicago has been terrible. The crime rate is high. The gang problem is real… Chicago is a jewel of America. We just cannot let lawlessness and fear dominate these cities,” Kasich declared as the other members of the panel looked annoyed that he wasn’t towing the line.

“The idea that these cities are somehow fine? Oh I think you’re just, you’re whistling…There are people at risk in these cities,” Kasich concluded.

She never expected his response. She was sure he’d side with the libtards because he doesn’t like Trump.

Kasich forgot to read an email or two.

You’re not supposed to be honest, mister! You’re supposed to say Chicago is a nice, peaceful place. Same as L.A. And Baltimore. And D.C.

Let’s enjoy seeing him reprimanded in the next day or two.

He was once my Representative, then my governor, and he did a damn good job. I voted for him in the 2016 primary. And he wound up with a severe case of TDS, but I’m glad he’s not entirely blinded to reality.

Kasich’s comments come after Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker posted a video of himself walking (out of breath) around a gentrified quiet area of Chicago in the daylight, suggesting it proves the city is safe.

Ok phat azz, it’s early morning in an area that has a lot of police presence that doesn’t have high crime issues. Go to the neighborhoods where people live, we see the videos on the news, I live here and I’m here to say YOU @JBPritzker are a huge FN liar. Look below beached… pic.twitter.com/RZE5OMg2NC

“The Lakefront Trail area near downtown Chicago is safer due to a continual presence of law enforcement, economic advantages, urban planning, and high visibility.

However, this safety is not uniform across all of Chicago, and the video’s portrayal reflects a specific,…

Residents of Chicago beg to differ with Pritzker

More residents in D.C. are also explaining how massive the cleanup there is:

Woman explains the profound cleanup at Union Station in DC, particularly “the underpass bridge where people would throw their waste” and there was always trash.

People talked about cleaning this up for a decade. President Trump did it in weeks.

Democrats are literally siding with violent criminals now.

And massaging the crime stats in a desperate and failing attempt to make it look like there isn’t a problem.

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Miller just revealed that a “massive scandal” has been uncovered in Washington DC. The Democrat-run police department has been extensively hiding crime statistics, going so far as reporting homicides as “accidents instead of m*rders.”

Maybe next they’ll don pink vests and break out into song for the murderers and drug pushers.

These people are singing to keep a serial spouse abuser and suspected human trafficking criminal illegal alien in America.

What in the hell are they thinking? https://t.co/JOLX2mJjlT
