Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switches Party over Public Safety.
Mayor Johnson alledge that Democrats soft on crime policies protects criminals. Democrats neglect justice for victims.
Axios: “Johnson told the RNC crowd Tuesday that the protests after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 led him to switch parties because activists became violent and scared his family. He said he received more support from Republicans than Democrats.”
Public Safety
Why it matters: The lifelong Democrat who ran for mayor on a platform of unity told the crowd of Republicans that the “woke Democrat Party is with the criminals.”
- It’s a stark flip for the man who once said Texas was shifting too far to the right.
