On Wednesday, incumbent Larry Krasner said his landslide victory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is part of a larger effort to reform America\u2019s criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>This comes after a Soros-funded political action committee reportedly spent $90,000 on advertisements for Krasner. On top of that, Soros spent nearly $1.7 million dollars on promoting him back in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking on Tuesday, challenger Carlos Vega suggested Krasner is unwilling to work with police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the murder rates since he took office..last year 499 and if things don\u2019t slow down, we\u2019re going to have 600 murders,\u201d he stated. \u201cSo we have to work with the community, work with police, to save our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Larry Krasner says he doesn\u2019t want to go back to the past, but we have the highest murder rate since the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Larry says he wants to dismantle systems, but instead he\u2019s dismantled diversionary programs, substance abuse programs, and others that ensured that people get help. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fE1v0LEM6M\">pic.twitter.com\/fE1v0LEM6M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Carlos Vega (@VegaForDA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VegaForDA\/status\/1394303861343625219?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last year, with incumbent Krasner as Philadelphia district attorney, homicides rose by 40 percent.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/center-for-security-policy-on-bidens-response-to-conflict-in-israel\/\">Center For Security Policy On Biden\u2019s Response To Conflict In Israel<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this Friday, May 14, 2021 photo, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner speaks during a news conference where the Guardian Civic League and Club Valiants, the fraternal organizations that represent &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2278583,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-529456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=529456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529456\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=529456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=529456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=529456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
