Ana Kasparian: As a Former Democrat, I Was Gaslit About the Reality of the Disorder and Crime Happening in L.A.

HINOJOSA: “Well, right now they‘re arresting everyone and anyone and trying to figure out what charges they‘re going to bring.”
JENNINGS: “No, they’re arresting criminals.”
HINOJOSA: “They‘re trying to arrest everyone and everyone and trying to figure out what charges they can bring against them.”
JENNINGS: “Not everyone. Criminals.”
KASPARIAN: “Well, they‘re not arresting everyone, in fact. And I want to just say, in regard to that public opinion polling that you cited, I totally understand that sentiment because, as someone who was a Democrat, I‘m an independent now, I was incredibly frustrated living in Los Angeles, being gaslit about the reality of the disorder, the crime that was happening. So, yeah, that‘s going to lead to people who are looking for solutions. And if the Democratic Party is gaslighting you and telling you, ‘No, no, crime is getting better,’ they‘re going to be more open to some of the shenanigans happening with Trump. The problem with Trump, though, is I think crime is the cover story. I think this is a power grab, and the reason why I say that is because look at the specific examples of crime that he allegedly wants to go after. I mean, just recently, his FBI did a sting operation in Las Vegas, and they managed to catch, through the sting operation, eight separate pedophiles that were trying to have sex with minors. Okay? One of those pedophiles is an Israeli government official who his government allowed to fly back to Israel after he had been charged in that sting operation for using technology to lure a minor for sex. And when it comes to the immigration issue, he loves to go after the undocumented immigrants, but not the employers employing the undocumented.
