Tim Ryan released an ad Wednesday touting his support for the police, but in 2019 he said the current criminal justice system in the U.S. is \u201cracist\u201d and called it the \u201cnew Jim Crow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan, who is running against Republican J.D. Vance in the Ohio Senate race, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimRyan\/status\/1537087893516210176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released an ad<\/a> that featured a sheriff from the state saying that \u201cTim Ryan knows defunding the police is ridiculous.\u201d However, at a presidential candidate town hall held at Paine College, an HBCU in Georgia, on Aug 26, 2019, Ryan heavily criticized the U.S. criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that the current criminal justice system is racist. I believe in my heart that it is the new Jim Crow, a new version of it. Um, we see it all the time across the board, as I mentioned with crimes like marijuana where you\u2019re gonna have, uh, a person of color go to jail 5 to 6 times more likely go to prison, um, than someone who\u2019s white,\u201d Ryan said in response to the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd those prison sentences will be 20% longer than-than for a white person. I think it gets back to the police immersion training that we need to have in the United States, um, because you could go across the board on education, criminal justice, environmental issues, where we have in communities of color, you know this much better than I do, but we see it in Youngstown, we see it in Akron, there\u2019s- there\u2019s lead in the water, there\u2019s lead paint still in some of the older homes, and so there\u2019s these environmental issues,\u201d Ryan continued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vance and other Republicans have criticized Ryan over his comments in the 2019 video.
