Republican lawyers in Philadelphia are ready to take down the city’s woke district attorney Larry Krasner. State Reps. Timothy O’Neal, Josh Kail, and Torren Ecker announced their effort to recall Krasner shortly after San Fransisco voters successfully recalled DA Chesa Boudin.

The lawmakers say that Krasner’s soft-on-crime policies have directly led to a spike in violent crime across the city and voters are fed up.

Townhall reports:

“This is about the fact that he is willfully failing to do his job,” O’Neal said this week at a press conference announcing the Republicans’ intent to impeach Krasner.

The under-fire DA, though, is sticking to his soft-on-crime agenda and, publicly at least, continuing the charade that his woke policies are a good thing. “There is nothing new about there being resistance when you’re trying to bring meaningful change and you’re trying to change society,” Krasner said this week sounding like Chesa Boudin. “What they are doing in terms of impeachment is clearly without a legal basis, it is clearly unconstitutional, and that will all come out as this proceeds — if it proceeds at all,” he claimed trying to brush aside the scrutiny.

But in reality, the City of Brotherly Love is not so loving these days — violent crime has skyrocketed since Krasner took office in 2018. In 2021, Philly was one of 12 cities to smash their annual homicide record set in 1990 with more than 520 slayings. In December of last year, Krasner was asked about the spiking crime in the city whose laws he’s supposed to enforce and whose citizens he’s supposed to protect. His response, as Townhall reported, was literally unbelievable:

“We don’t have a crisis of lawlessness, we don’t have a crisis of crime, we don’t have a crisis of violence,” the district attorney said at his weekly news briefing in South Philadelphia according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s important that we don’t let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there is some kind of big spike in crime,” Krasner added.
