Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, recently attacked his opponent – the utterly ridiculous Lt. Gov. John Fetterman – for a pro-criminal record that would embarrass even George Soros.

It isn't complicated why crime has, and is substantially increasing across America. And, if Joe Biden is unwilling to criticize the misguided policies of his fellow Democrats who lead the cities where its increasing, he can't call himself "tough on crime."
