GOP Campaign Chief Tom Emmer: ‘Crime Is Through the Roof’, Will Play ‘Huge’ Role in November
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), declared that “crime is through the roof” and that it will play a “huge” role in the upcoming midterm elections during his recent appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
“At the end of the day, I’ll put it in terms like this. You don’t know what the jury — the voters — are going to decide [in] November,” Emmer explained. “I do know that they’re going to return the majority to Republicans, but how broad and how deep that is, we’ll leave that for them to tell us.”
The NRCC chair noted that the “Democrats just passed a bill so they can hire an army of IRS agents to harass conservatives and the middle class” and that the Republicans will win by pointing out the Democrats’ pro-crime agenda.
“We’re gonna win with our candidates by highlighting… Democrats’ pro-criminal policies that have created chaos and violence in our communities, and we’re gonna win by reminding voters that Democrats have prioritized open borders and given drug cartels a free pass to terrorize American citizens,” Emmer added.
He also clarified that the House races across the country are the “largest local race on the ballot” this year and how they are looking to localize the elections to a specific geography and demographic areas for the candidates as much as possible.
“You’ll see us continue to tailor our message to specific areas,” he said, explaining how the Republicans are looking to localize the elections. “In New York, expect crime to continue to be a key theme highlighting Democrats’ pro-criminal policies. I mentioned the cashless bail earlier. I mean, where, where does it make sense, let murderers and thieves and people committing assaults right back out on the street within hours after they’re picked up.”
Expanding on New York, Emmer stated that Republicans’ opportunities to pick up Democrat-held seats look “extremely promising” since crime is a significant issue in the state.
“It’s driven largely by that violent crime wave the Democrats policy should create it,” he added. “Every one of these Democrats in New York has supported cashless bail, which puts criminals before… it puts criminals ahead of the actual citizens that were supposed to be law-abiding citizens were supposed to be protected.”
In addition to fixing crime, Emmer added that “A vote for a Republican is a vote to get a cost of living back under control and restore American energy independence” and would be “for safety and security in our communities, in our states, in our country, and around the world,” for a “secure border,” and “putting parents back in charge of the decisions they believe are most important when it comes to their children and their own personal lives.”

Watch: Portland Mom Discovers Homeless Person in Son’s Bed – Intruder Released Next Day by Liberal D.A.
A Portland mother was startled when she recently discovered a homeless woman sleeping in her ten-year-old son’s bed. The intruder was released the following day by the county’s liberal district attorney.
Kelsey Smith’s Ring security camera footage captured an intruder, later identified as Terri Lynn Zinser, 54, breaking into her Portland home and making her way to the child’s bedroom. The footage was uploaded to Youtube on Tuesday.
Watch:
Smith had left the door unlocked to allow contractors working on the house to enter, but Zinser was not someone the mother was expecting.
The intruder is seen plopping herself down on the child’s bed as a family dog barks at her. Security camera footage was placed in the ten-year-old’s bedroom for the parents to monitor for medical purposes, Fox 12 noted.
The mother then enters the room moments later and initially thinks the person lying in the child’s bed is her husband playing a joke on her.
However, Smith realizes the person lying down is a stranger and becomes noticeably disturbed. She is heard demanding the unknown woman leave.
The homeless woman then wakes up from the commotion and is heard swearing before picking up a large object. The footage then cuts to Zinser exiting the front door.
“It was really disturbing to have her curled up in my children’s room. I mean, the safety of this whole household just feels like it’s been upended,” the mother told KTVL.
Zinser was later arrested by Portland police, where she was charged with burglary in the first degree and harassment.
A day after she was booked into jail, she was set free on a “court ordered release” by liberal Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s office, the New York Post reported. Zinser’s bail was set at $0.
Schmidt has an extensive history of being soft on criminals, most notably concerning ANTIFA rioters, as Breitbart News has documented.
Upon hearing that Zinser was released the following day, Smith lamented the homeless crisis in the Democrat-run city and noted that action needs to be taken to address it.
“I feel like the city is declining rapidly and there is a need for more mental health services, more training for the police, probably more police, more community outreach,” she told Fox 12.
As Breitbart News noted in August, Portland’s out-of-control homeless and crime issues have become so rampant in some neighborhoods that some families are packing up and leaving.
