Virginia AG Reveals Shocking Consequences of Democrats’ Soft-on-Crime Policies
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is fighting against what he calls a “criminal-first, victim-last mindset” that has swept through the commonwealth’s justice system under previous Democrat administrations.
As he campaigns for reelection, Miyares is armed with alarming statistics: over 9,600 inmates were released early in fiscal year 2023 alone, with roughly 50% being rearrested—resulting in more than 4,500 new victims of crime.
In our candid interview, Miyares pulls no punches as he dissects the policy decisions that have undermined Virginia’s once-impressive public safety record. We also discussed local police chiefs who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and Miyares’ defense of parents’ rights in schools.
As Virginians turn their attention to this November’s election, Miyares argues that voters face a clear choice between the “social justice reforms” championed by his opponent and the proven policies that could make Virginia one of the safest states in the nation.
