A PolitiFact tweet on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis added a note to its fact-check on his claim that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg downgraded felonies.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over former President Donald Trump's indictment and ripped President Biden as "controlled" by leftists in a recent speech in Long Island, NY.
"Yes, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded felonies as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, but it’s a common practice among peer counties," the account tweeted. "Yes, @GovRonDeSantis was correct. But @PolitiFact feels compelled to note it's simply ‘common practice’ to refuse to hold criminals accountable in NY," Griffin tweeted.Other social media users blasted PolitiFact for begrudgingly admitting that DeSantis’ comment was correct.
Minnesota House Republicans executive director Andrew Wagner explained,"Most of our public safety problems in Minnesota and nationally would be solved by judges and prosecutors enforcing sentences pursuant to state law. Insane that it's become ‘common practice’ for half of felonies to be downgraded. #mnleg."
