Mike Johnson (R-LA) responded to President Joe Biden\u2019s calls for gun control by stating that the real issues with crime are lax prosecutors and the problems at the border as a result of Democratic policies.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said, \u201cThe president said we need gun reform. We don\u2019t need that. We need reform of radical district attorneys. That\u2019s the problem, as you said, it\u2019s these progressive D.A.s with these crazy policies where they won\u2019t prosecute crime. They\u2019re reducing felonies to misdemeanors. They\u2019re weakening their bail policies. And it leads to more crime. This is not rocket science. An 8th-grade civics student can figure this out. There are also the open border policies. That\u2019s a big root cause of all these problems. Because dangerous people are coming across the border, being shipped around the country on planes and buses to a neighborhood near you. And we know fentanyl is flooding over the border, and that\u2019s leading to all sorts of street crimes and gangs and everything else. So, it\u2019s the president\u2019s, and his party\u2019s policies, and their dangerous rhetoric, of course, about defunding the police that has led to all of this. [Those are] the root causes, and that\u2019s what needs to be addressed and reversed.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cEvening Edit,\u201d Rep.
