Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway offered solutions to crime as it is spreading “everywhere right now.”
Conway appeared on Saturday’s Lawrence Jones Cross Country show to react to Wisconsin State Sen. LaTonya Johnson arguing against more police in suburban areas on the Senate floor. LaTonya was making an argument on behalf of constituents that live the in the city and how those in suburbia do not understand the lifestyle. During her arguments, she said: “f*** the suburbs.”

“Crime is so random and capricious right now and is everywhere right now,” Conway said in response. “Now you see why people have so little faith in their elected officials is all the problems that are right in front of them. We’re used to the right-left, red-blue divide, but to have the urban-suburban divide quite like that, out of the mouth of a state legislator, it’s not true and doesn’t help.”
Conway pointed out that Wisconsin is run by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Lieutenant Gov. Sara Rodriguez, which according to her, is a trend among crime-ridden areas. She predicted that voters who want solutions to crimes might vote against Democratic candidates as a result.
“Because crime used to be a nonpartisan issue with bipartisan solutions, and this party has so hurt themselves on the border with security, crime in our neighborhoods, this feeling of a lack of economic security, this feeling of vulnerability, this feeling that people don’t think that they can live a safe life, pay their dues, and make a difference,” Conway said.
