The George Floyd movement promised to transform America, but five years later it has been an absolute disaster for working families. What started as calls for justice turned into a radical left agenda that made our streets more dangerous and our communities less safe. The so-called restorative justice policies pushed by Democrats have failed miserably, leaving ordinary Americans to pay the price.
Crime has exploded across the country as liberal prosecutors refused to lock up criminals. Instead of holding bad actors accountable, they chose to coddle lawbreakers in the name of social justice. The Charlotte murder that Howie Carr discussed is just the latest example of how these soft-on-crime policies are getting innocent people killed.
Even the federal government under Trump has been forced to reverse course on the failed policies of the past. The Justice Department wisely scrapped the consent decrees that would have hamstrung police departments in Minneapolis and Louisville. These Obama-era restrictions on law enforcement only made it harder for cops to do their jobs and keep communities safe.
Major corporations that jumped on the woke bandwagon are now quietly backing away from their diversity schemes. Companies are cutting DEI staff and removing racial equity language from their mission statements because they know these programs divide workers instead of uniting them. Smart business leaders realize that merit matters more than skin color.
The American people have spoken loud and clear about the racial reckoning experiment. A recent Pew Research poll shows most Americans believe the focus on race after George Floyd’s death did not help Black Americans at all. Instead of real progress, we got endless lectures about white privilege and demands to tear down our history.
The radical left used George Floyd’s death to push their anti-American agenda on hardworking families. They wanted to defund police, rewrite our history books, and make white people feel guilty for crimes they never committed. Patriots across the country saw through this scam and rejected it at the ballot box.
Public transit has become a nightmare in many cities thanks to these failed policies. When you refuse to arrest criminals and let them run wild, innocent commuters become sitting ducks for violent predators. The Charlotte incident shows what happens when law and order breaks down completely.
It is time to get back to basics and support the brave men and women in blue who risk their lives every day. Americans want safe streets, strong families, and equal justice under the law, not the divisive race-baiting that has torn our country apart. The George Floyd movement promised hope but delivered only chaos and division.
