Washington, D.C. – John Fetterman is a dangerous Democrat who is soft on crime. We know he supports ending cash bail, but there is now video of him praising PA District Attorney Larry Krasner for eliminating cash bail in 2018.
As reported by FOX News:
Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz highlighted an April 2018 video showing his opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, endorsing policies to eliminate cash bail and refusing to prosecute marijuana crimes.
Fetterman called such policies “commonsense” while talking about Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in 2018.
“I really have been enjoying watching Larry Krasner, your new district attorney, take some commonsense approaches, like getting rid of police officers that shouldn’t be testifying, decriminalizing possessions of marijuana, refusing to prosecute those kind of crimes, reducing or eliminating cash bail on a lot of different offenses,” Fetterman said at the time.
The Oz campaign is keen to draw connections between Fetterman and Krasner as the latter faces a possible impeachment for failing to maintain law and order.
Republican members of the Pennsylvania House announced Wednesday morning that they are filing articles of impeachment against Krasner for failing to enforce the law and allowing crime in Philadelphia to skyrocket.

Fetterman worked with Krasner to secure the release of Dennis and Lee Horton, two brothers who had been convicted of murder and now work for Fetterman’s campaign.
In a 2018 questionnaire, Fetterman said he was “very excited” about “the progressive criminal justice reform platform” that Krasner was “setting into motion.” Fetterman also slammed “’tough on crime’ policies like ‘stop and frisk’ and cash bail,” in the same questionnaire.

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “As crime continues to be on top of mind for midterm voters, we will continue highlighting just how radical and soft-on-crime Fetterman truly is. While the Pennsylvania State House is filing articles of impeachment against Larry Krasner for failing to enforce the law and allowing crime in Philadelphia to skyrocket, videos are being reveled of Fetterman praising Krasner for his extreme policies. We’re not sure how much clearer this could be – Fetterman is way too dangerous for Pennsylvania.”
