 [NYPOST] The House Judiciary Committee is setting its sights on New York because the state is a hotbed of failed left-wing criminal justice policies, Rep. Elise Stefanik said in a new interview.
New York’s top Republican in Congress fired back at Democrats who claim Monday’s hearing by the GOP-led panel is only payback for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
...Soros-financed, -owned, and -operated woke Manhattan DA. A prosecutorial loose cannon who feels entitled to pick and choose which laws to enforce and can't be bothered to respond civilly to Congressional inquiries unless they're from Dems...
’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
— saying it’s really about the state’s soft-on-crime laws.
"New York is being targeted because you have radical left-wing Democrats who have put failed bail reform in place," Stefanik told The Post.
"That includes [Gov.] Kathy Hochul, that includes politicians in Albany, that includes defund-the-police Democrats in New York City, as well as radical, far-left district attorneys like Alvin Bragg."
The upstate representative charged that New York "is the epicenter of the catastrophic crime crisis happening across our country."
"Not just families in New York City, but broadly, even in my district in upstate New York."
Stefanik, 38, will sit on the Congressional panel that will convene at the Jacob Javits Federal Building in Lower Manhattan on Monday morning to probe Bragg’s lefty policies, as well as rampant crime in New York City and the Empire State overall.
Bragg has been under fire since taking office in January 2022 and announcing that his office would not prosecute many non-violent mostly peaceful crimes and would reduce some felonies to misdemeanors.
