their woke George Soros-funded District Attorney Chesa Boudin, in what many believe to be the start of a progressive backlash.
Representative Mondaire Jones represents a cushy district in Westchester County, but redistricting has forced him to run for reelection as a carpetbagger in a competitive open seat.With a re-election looming in a foreign district, Jones apparently saw the writing on the wall. When asked in alast week about if there was a “specific rhetorical phrase that … progressives have employed that hurts more than it helps,” his response was blunt.
“You’ve got leaders of the [Working Families Party] saying ‘defund the police’ was not the best phrase to articulate a vision for how to move toward humane, more effective policing that doesn’t brutalize black and brown communities while still keeping them safe,” he said.after President Biden’s 2022 State of the Union address in which he called for funding police departments.
“It’s about polling,” Guardian Angels founder and former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa told The Post. “His consultants are telling him, hey you gotta start moving toward the center.”Mondaire Jones is applauded after addressing a Black Lives Matter rally, Wednesday, July 15, 2020, outside the Westchester County courthouse.
