Focus groups of Democratic voters out of Philadelphia have indicated that crime and safety are a top concern going into November\u2019s midterm elections, MSNBC reports. And that network\u2019s own \u201cMorning Joe\u201dJoe Scarborough, co-host of the show, had some words to say on Friday. <\/p>\n

Railing on the city\u2019s \u201cwoke DAs\u201dWho are they? \u201csaying they don\u2019t have a crime problem\u201d and the progressives at large saying that residents are exaggerating the truth of the city\u2019s crime rate, Scarborough lamented that \u201cprogressives on crime in places like Philadelphia and New York are so extraordinarily clueless. It\u2019s maddening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sitting with a focus group of Black voters from Philadelphia, MSNBC correspondent Elise Jordan reported with footage aired on Friday\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201dThat she \u201cwas taken aback by just how strongly participants felt about what they perceive as the rise in crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s also not just a perception,\u201dJordan spoke. \u201cYou can look at the numbers, specifically, in the city of Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\u2018Morning<\/p><\/div>\n

Jordan asked four diverse voters to pose for Jordan a question. \u201cWho thinks that crime potentially impacting you or your family is the greatest fear you face right now?\u201dThe unanimous response from the audience was unanimous \u201cabsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, it\u2019s outrageous, the number of people being killed to the number of politicians that won\u2019t pass civil gun laws,\u201dOne participant was a male. \u201cAnd you know why it\u2019s happening because they\u2019re being paid to look the other way when it comes to passing gun laws. But we end up and our children end up paying the price.\u201d <\/p>\n

One female voter said that the group included \u201cWe don\u2019t even know going home today how we\u2019re gonna feel, whether you\u2019re driving or on public transportation, what\u2019s gonna happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back to the studio, Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are the hosts. \u201cMorning Joe\u201d team was clearly riled up from the group\u2019s feedback. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\u2018Morning<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThat is dark,\u201d Brzezinski said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is so jarring, and we hear it everywhere,\u201dScarborough stated. \u201cWe hear it from Philadelphia to New York to San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Democratic candidate in Oklahoma said that crime is higher in Oklahoma than it was in New York City. He then cited a debate in Oklahoma earlier in the week. \u201cand was laughed off the stage,\u201dDespite this, it is true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a massive crime wave, and, you know, yes it does fall on both parties,\u201dScarborough made these remarks before getting into the weaknesses of the left. \u201cBut when you have\u00a0woke DAs in Philadelphia basically saying they don\u2019t have a crime problem, when you have cops quitting left and right in Philadelphia because \u2026 they\u2019re not going to risk their lives so they can arrest people who are going to be out on the street the next day. Then you have Philadelphia progressives telling people to tell these people. \u2018Oh, you\u2019re wrong, don\u2019t believe your lying eyes, Don\u2019t believe the fact \u2013 there\u2019s something wrong with you for being afraid to go to work. There\u2019s something wrong with you for being afraid to go home,\u2019 as they were talking about right there.<\/p>\n

\u201cProgressives on crime in places like Philadelphia and New York are so extraordinarily clueless,\u201dHe concluded. \u201cIt\u2019s maddening. And yet, you see it in these focus groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan agreed with Scarborough and said that it was condescending to try to blindly accept the increase in crime in places like Philadelphia. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo tell people who feel the threat and live the threat on their day-to-day going to work trying to just live their lives, it\u2019s condescending to tell them that what they\u2019re imagining really isn\u2019t so bad,\u201dShe said. <\/p>\n

The video below shows the complete segment and the focus group. <\/p>\n
