Maud Maron, the Republican nominee for Manhattan District Attorney, blasted political prosecutions after the shocking Minnesota assassination. The longtime public defender turned law-and-order candidate slammed radical prosecutors for prioritizing politics over public safety. “When DAs play politics with justice, innocent people pay the price,” Maron declared during her Fox News interview.
The conservative firebrand connected recent violence to soft-on-crime policies embraced by liberal prosecutors. She pointed to rising crime rates in cities run by progressive DAs as proof their approach fails. “Criminals aren’t scared of empty warnings and catch-and-release schemes,” Maron stated, her voice firm with conviction.
Maron vowed to clean up Manhattan by prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law. The mother of four promised to reverse Alvin Bragg’s controversial policies that let thieves walk free. “My first day in office, we’re tearing up the ‘get out of jail free’ cards,” she told viewers.
The candidate praised police officers as heroes who deserve full support, not defunding. She called for reopening precincts closed during the anti-cop riots and expanding neighborhood patrols. “Blue lives matter because all lives matter,” Maron said to cheers from the studio audience.
On the Minnesota assassination, Maron demanded swift justice without political grandstanding. She warned against using tragedy to push gun control instead of punishing killers. “Focus on the criminal, not the weapon,” the former public defender insisted, slamming Democrats’ usual playbook.
Maron ripped radical prosecutors for harassing political opponents while ignoring real crime. She called the Trump indictment a “sham” that wasted resources needed to combat actual violence. “Real justice means protecting citizens, not persecuting conservatives,” the candidate thundered.
The Trump-endorsed candidate promised to fire every activist prosecutor in the DA’s office. She pledged to hire tough-on-crime attorneys who value victims’ rights over criminals’ excuses. “No more social experiments with people’s safety,” Maron vowed, eyes blazing with determination.
Closing with a message to worried parents, Maron swore to reclaim New York’s streets. “I’ll be your bulldog against the crime wave,” she promised, fist pounding the desk. The crowd erupted as she finished: “Safety first—always, everywhere, for everyone!”
