John Kennedy blasted President Joe Biden and Democrats on Wednesday over surging crime rates, arguing they are \u201cmore interested in Super Bowl guacamole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy shared the colorful comments with reporters during a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday addressing increased crime in America\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a number of reasons for the increase in our crime rate, but I think part of it is our public leadership. We have many leaders in our communities today who believe, deep down, that, if a criminal commits a crime, it\u2019s really not the criminal\u2019s fault\u2014it\u2019s the fault of an unfair world,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cAnd many of these same people believe that punishment, prisons and cops make it worse. And I do not believe any free society can order a civilized culture without accepting the concept of free will and responsibility,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The senator also placed much of the blame on Biden for tolerating crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think President Biden has tolerated a lot of this. An uncharitable person might say that his silence in this case, or at least the administration\u2019s more interested in Super Bowl guacamole than the crime rate,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the only way, it seems to me, that in America we\u2019re going to address this problem is from the top-down. Top-up works too. President Biden needs to address this issue and the change in leadership of some of our public officials,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n<p>The outspoken words against Biden and Democrats on crime were not Kennedy\u2019s first time to focus on the matter.

They are both nauseously woke,\u201d Kennedy quipped to Watters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWokers believe that no one should have to accept responsibility. They believe that it\u2019s always someone else\u2019s fault. And their motto is, \u2018Hear no evil, see no evil, prosecute no evil,\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s focus on fighting increased crime comes less than a month after a new <a href=\"https:\/\/counciloncj.org\/2021-year-end-crime-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) revealed that homicides in major U.S. cities were 5% higher in 2021 over 2020 and 44% higher than in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe study drew on crime data from 22 cities nationwide \u2014 including Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Memphis, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia \u2014 and found an additional 218 murders last year, compared to 2020. And while the overall increase in the homicide rate slowed, murder rates in St. Petersburg, Florida, (108%) and Austin (86%) skyrocketed, while Washington, D.C., (16%) also recorded a notable increase,\u201d CBS News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/homicides-2021-increase-council-on-criminal-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix of the 22 cities saw their murder rates drop, however, with sizeable dips in Seattle (25%) and Omaha (24%),\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe elevated rates of homicide and serious assaults require an urgent response from elected leaders,\u201d the study\u2019s co-author Richard Rosenfeld said in the report. \u201cA year ago, we concluded our 2020 crime report by noting that with so many lives at stake, the time to act is now.
