Actual Proof We’ve Been Been Right All Along
It should be obvious to most Americans by now that we will be facing the consequences of the Biden administration’s lax crime policies for perhaps decades. This is especially evident in blue cities, where Soros-backed liberal Democratic prosecutors and prosecutors care more about the rotten childhoods of criminals than their victims. Republicans have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years, while the left and the media have simply ignored the problem. Today there is concrete evidence that we were right all along.
Living in an area with a Republican prosecutor allows for a quantifiable drop in the death rate.
It’s crazy! Soft-on-crime prosecutors cause real harm https://t.co/0nWZ4BaRGr

A study by Panka Bencsik, an economist at Vanderbilt University, and Tyler Giles, a professor at Wellesley College, looked at various counties that elected district attorneys and prosecutors from both parties. What their research shows is obvious and should scare those who continue to vote for these people into a harsh reality check. The study took into account data from hotly contested elections from 2010 to 2019. The election of Republican prosecutors reduced all-cause mortality rates among young men aged 20 to 29 by 6.6%. The result of this study should be particularly interesting considering Democrats’ claim to be champions of black Americans and other minority groups. He added this:
“This decline is primarily due to reductions in gun-related deaths, including a large reduction in gun homicides among black men and a smaller reduction in gun suicides and accidents, primarily among white men. Mechanism analyzes indicate that increased prison disability explains about a third of the effect among black men and none of this effect among white men. Instead, the primary channel appears to be a substantial increase in criminal conviction rates among groups racial and crime patterns, which then reduce access to firearms through legal restrictions on gun ownership for convicts.”
Simply put, these young men, primarily young black men, are dying at a slower rate because of Republican prosecutors and prosecutors who are willing to enforce the law and incarcerate offenders, so they can’t prey on other innocent victims. The survey also highlights the lack of prosecutions for gang-related violence in places like Chicago, which also disproportionately affects young black men.
Study suggests Republican prosecutors reduce risk of black men being killed and white men committing suicide or dying in gun-related accidents.

Republican DAs are better: “We find that narrow election of a Republican prosecutor reduces all-cause mortality rates among young men ages 20 to 29 by 6.6 percent.

THE study explains that electing a Republican DA results in a large reduction in gun homicides among black men and a smaller reduction in gun suicides among white men. Conservatives may not be surprised that the election of Soros-backed district attorneys, who routinely downgrade charges and release violent criminals onto the streets, will lead to more violence and deaths. This study is another example that confirms the obvious: stopping crime can be as simple as putting criminals in prison.
My colleague Sister Toldjah recently reported on one of the latest examples of Democrats caring more about criminals than victims: the horrific case of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Zarutska was stabbed on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail train last August, sparking outrage when it was learned that her alleged killer, Decarlos Brown Jr., was a repeat offender who had benefited from then-Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s COVID-era executive order of 2020. He should never have ended up on the streets.

In an election year like 2026, unfortunately, Democratic prosecutors have no shortage of soft-on-crime stories that Republicans can throw at Democratic candidates, but now there are numbers to back them up. Apparently putting criminals in prison to reduce crime rates really works. But in addition to defending and supporting illegal immigrants, knowing that they are repeat criminals, this seems like one more illogical hill on which Democrats, the party of compassion, seem only too willing to die.
The American people overwhelmingly support President Trump’s law and order agenda.
