Back in 2017, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned us that the United States was experiencing a surge in violent crime that deserved a forceful response. He called for a restoration of law and order. He was ridiculed for this by a lot of the same liberal newspapers that today have abetted and enabled a shocking rise in violent crime. But it turns out that Sessions was right. New crime data from the FBI proves the point he was making. Violent crime has surged, and in fact, Sessions probably had no idea how bad things were going to get.
