A Democrat New York City councilman will testify against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, saying the woke DA has contributed to the city's "lawlessness."
Bob Holden will appear at the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, "Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan," next week, pointing fingers at Bragg's soft-on-crime policies is driving chaos into the streets of the city.
"When Bragg came in, he issued that ridiculous edict that he was not going to prosecute smaller crimes," Holden said. "What do we have in New York City? We have lawlessness on the streets."
Holden, a long-time New Yorker, said he had never seen the city so dangerous as it is now, noting the timing of the rise in crime directly correlates to when Bragg took over as DA in January 2022.

Bragg is nothing but a soros soft on crime demoncrat
Martha, you are absolutely correct. Bragg reduces charges, criminals are back on the streets before the arresting officers in many cases. Nothing wrong with N.Y. City that some hard nose prosecutors and Judges could not fix. Furthermore you assault a cop or kill a cop hunt them down for the dogs that they are.
Feel you are wrongly stopped or arrested 1 Do Not Run Comply. Call your lawyer handle it in court !!
1. If you do the crime from J-walking to Murder: You pay the fine or do the time!! Real Simple. You riot burn and steal You go to Jail Period.
Nice thought, but from what I have seen on the news and heard from yesterday's fact findering session, that is not what is happening.
