Gov. Hochul needs to remove DA Bragg now

 

By Rep. Mike Lawler

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s job is supposed to be keeping New Yorkers safe. Unfortunately, he’d rather take it easy on criminals and illegal migrants and save his harshest prosecutions for Good Samaritans and politicians with whom he disagrees.

He’s refused to prosecute fare-beating, resisting arrest, and more in his tenure and opted to avoid pre-trial detention at almost every juncture. As a result, repeat offenders have been let loose to re-offend again and again, leading to the highest rates of felony crimes in New York City in decades.

While the bad guys get a pass, Bragg went after people like Jose Alba, who defended himself after coming under attack in a bodega where he worked; Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, just proven innocent, who intervened when a deranged, career criminal posed a violent threat to his fellow straphangers; and, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who Bragg pursued relentlessly for years with inflated charges that federal prosecutors in President Biden’s own Department of Justice, his predecessor Cy Vance, and leading legal scholars found flimsy at best.

What did Bragg achieve? Stoking racial and political tensions in New York City.

What did he not achieve? Making us all safer.
