Name Calling Labels officials as 'sanctuary politicians' who side with criminals over citizens to discredit them rather than address policy.

Katie's killer was not our neighbor. Sheridan Gorman's killer was not our neighbor. This guy in the Bronx was not our neighbor. So I don't know why they can't even distinguish between the difference. So let's break it down. The bottom line is it's the policies and what they've done upstream. And we have to suffer now the rest of our lives because of that. And they can't see it in their heart to even have only one -sided empathy is what they have. And that's toward the criminal and the illegal behavior. The victims are And that's toward the criminal and the illegal behavior. The victims are, it's an inverted morality. It's ridiculous.
