About time someone said it.
Recently on Fox, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) confronted accusations by New York Attorney General Letitia James claiming citizens were afraid of the New York Police Department.
According to Breitbart, Zeldin said James’ “broad statement” about New Yorkers’ dislike for cops is “just not accurate.”
“That’s a broad statement. Really, she shouldn’t be speaking for the entire state,” Zeldin said. “When you say New Yorkers, you might get an impression that all New Yorkers feel that way. I don’t even believe that most New Yorkers feel that way. And I also think it’s important for individuals … to be communicating with the public to support law enforcement and to send a strong message that we are for rule of law, we’re for safety and security, we’re for peace and prosperity and actually build more support up for law enforcement. So. I would take it one step further than just say you shouldn’t be making a broad-based statement like that because it’s just not accurate.”
Adding, “I feel like the message that’s being sent should be building up more support for law enforcement and not supporting the narrative of eroding it. When they say ‘Defund the Police,’ the protests are going a lot further than just that rhetorically. It’s a lot of expletives, often up in the face of police using language that I can’t repeat obviously here on air. So, the demoralizing towards the profession is coming in many ways beyond the physical assaults and going after their budget. It’s also been the way that the leaders don’t seem to have law enforcement’s back as these protesters are trying to tear them down in very personal ways.”

Leiitia James as a personal security guard and she should back th police or keep her dam mouth shut! 99 1/2% of the police are great people, you cannot say that about government employees and DemocRAT Politicians.
NY Attorney General…NY Attorney General? This broad is right in Ted Bundy’s class. She should be in prison. She murders for politics.
New York is the number one state where more people are leaving than moving into the state. Even worse than California. Gee, I wonder why!
