The New York Post reported, a former gang member from Albany, New York, who confessed to killing two rivals and making $12,000 a month selling narcotics, has been hired for a top leadership post by the Democrats House campaign committee.
The social media trail complicated what Democrats packaged as an inspiring redemption story.
Republicans said Mr. Tatro‘s hiring fits snugly with the “defund the police” narrative pushed by many Democrats at the municipal and state level over the past year. Since the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis last May, the “defund the police” movement has gained support in several cities led by Democratic councils and mayors.
“We already know House Democrats want to defund the police, but it’s disturbing to see DCCC senior leadership actively condoning looting and slandering Capitol Police,” said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams.
