Social media erupts after DNC speaker says migrant crime, carjackings 'don't matter' to many Americans
Opinion by Deirdre Heavey • 14h
Insha Rahman, vice president of advocacy and partnerships of the far-left criminal justice reform group, Vera Institute of Justice, caused an uproar on social media after she told Democrats on Monday that migrant crime and carjackings "don't matter to that many Americans."
During a political strategy session about crime and safety at the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rahman urged Democrats to seize on President Donald Trump's crime crackdown, calling it a "political liability."
"Trump is not about safety," Rahman said. "This is a political power grab, and he will do it however he can, whether that's at the ballot box or taking over our cities."
While Rahman focused her remarks on how Democrats can reject Republicans' "tough on crime scare tactics," the Vera Institute, where the Democratic strategist serves as a senior official, has a long record of supporting defunding the police.
