Trump Calls for ‘National Referendum’ Against Crime

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday called for a “national referendum” on Democrat policies and argued the future of the United States could be at stake.

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, the former president told an audience that GOP candidates need to control Congress and issue a referendum on the Democrats’ policies, namely crime, immigration, and inflation.

“We have to win an earth-shattering victory in 2022,” Trump remarked. “Winning this election needs to be a national referendum on the horrendous catastrophes radical Democrats have inflicted on our country.”

Republicans, he said, need to “restore public safety” across the United States amid elevated homicide and violent crime rates nationwide. That’s “job number one,” he argued.

“People are walking outside and getting shot in the head,” Trump said Saturday. “Because of the radical left’s merciless crusade to dismantle law enforcement in America, our country is now a cesspool of crime that it has never been before.”

‘This Is Not Democracy’

He continued: “Everybody is talking about it, other countries are talking about it. You had seven people killed in Chicago this weekend. You had 68 people shot. That is not democracy, that is not what we stand for.”

Targeting so-called bail reform policies in largely Democrat-controlled states and municipalities, Trump said that “savage criminals” are being released from jail soon after they are arrested.

“We have to make America safe again” to “make America great again,” said Trump, echoing his 2016 campaign pledge. “It is time for leaders who have the courage to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done.”

“They know what to do and we have to allow them to do it,” the former commander-in-chief added. “We need to return to the tried-and-true strategy of a thing called stop-and-frisk. We have to take the guns away from criminals. Instead of taking guns away from law-abiding Americans, let’s take them away from the violent felons and career criminals for a change.”
