Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas Voted in favor George Floyd Police Justice Act, he also family I work in law enforcement and of course I support the police.
These opposing forces were at play last October when three armed assailants stole Rep. Cuellar’s car in Washington, D.C. The congressman was unharmed and the vehicle was recovered, but the lax response to the crime has hurt law enforcement. Fox News Conservatives have responded to Cuellar’s terrifying encounter by calling for a standup against soaring crime in Washington, DC.
“This chaos is the result of a Democrat-led, soft-on-crime policy and is no different to the open border debacle.”
“Congressman Cuellar had his car stolen near my Washington apartment,” Republican Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah wrote at the time, according to Fox News. “This chaos is the result of Democrat-led soft-on-crime policies and is no different to the open border fiasco. It’s time Democrats start taking the safety of Americans seriously.”
In addition, the Republican National Congressional Committee will Said 173 House Democrats supported reducing sentences for violent crimes.
Cuellar is not exactly anti-police, but many Democrats are. teethMany are soft on crime, promote cuts to police budgets, and are far-left in many ways.
What’s especially interesting is what often happens when thugs victimize left-wing, soft-on-crime, police-budget-cutting Democrats. And wouldn’t you know it? In those cases, the cops suddenly turn out not to be so terrible after all. Here are just a handful of examples:

In December 2020, a progressive Democrat on the Seattle City Council (who had voted to cut the city’s police budget and supported decriminalizing certain minor crimes) called police for help after rocks were thrown at her home. Councilwoman Lisa Herbold reportedly told police, “I was on the west side of the living room near the kitchen when I heard a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and ran into the kitchen for cover.” When the City Council passed the police budget cuts in August 2020, only one council member voted against them. It wasn’t Herbold.She also proposed amending city ordinances to allow for what’s called an “indigence defense” when committing minor crimes such as trespassing or shoplifting. KOMO-TV reported.Indeed, just days before the attack on his home, Herbold told the City Council’s Public Safety Committee that such an amendment would “give people a chance to tell their stories and give a judge and a jury a chance to hear those stories and make a decision based on our city’s values.” He declined to run. They will contest the seat in 2023.
