Kimberly Guilfoyle Called NYC A 'Zombie Apocalypse'

While railing against Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg prosecuting her future father-in-law, Guilfoyle painted a bizarre portrait of the Big Apple.

These days the GOP sure hates New York City. And why not? A large portion of its population despises one of its most famous sons, Donald Trump. It's also where a grand jury voted to indict the former president on criminal charges. Republicans have long made up horror stories about the city, which they claim is in the midst of a historic crime wave. It's not. In fact, it's among the safest times in its long history. But on Monday, one Trump associate went farther than most in smearing the Big Apple.

As per Mediaite , Kimberly Guilfoyle — who went from the spouse of California's very liberal governor Gavin Newsom to the screeching fiancee of Trump's perpetually revved-up oldest son — went on Newsmax to slam Alvin Bragg, Manhattan's DA. Like many MAGA heads, Guilfoyle parroted the claim that Bragg has been ignoring rampant crime in the city to go after Trump's relatively minor crime. She said he "doesn't care" about punishing NYC's other wrongdoers, while painting a bizarre portrait of NYC.

"You know, New York is now the likes of Will Smith, I Am Legend . It's a zombie apocalypse," she railed. "People are running around. They're afraid to go on the subways, afraid to walk to school or go to work, get on the busses because it's rampant with crime."

New York City these days has its share of danger. There was even a wave of attacks last year on its Asian population, plus a subway shooter who eluded the NYPD for so long that he eventually turned himself in. And yet crime is down from this time last year. It looks even better when you compare it to 30 years ago, when Trump was cock of the walk in between having multiple companies declare bankruptcy.

Will Newsmax viewers buy Guilfoyle's embellishments? Probably. But New Yorkers sure won't.

Anyway, go visit New York City, if you haven't been there in a while. It's got Broadway shows, some pretty nice parks, world class bagels, and not only no zombies but substantially less crime than it's had in its nearly 400 year history. Great town.

Who knows what she looks like under all that makeup and posturing? Maybe there is a relatable human being buried in there somewhere.

When spouting bullshit, make sure it is complete and utter bullshit. Crime is not down. Felonies are being downgraded to misdemeanors. Felonies that are prosecuted are being lost by the POS Bragg.

Soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded more than half his felony cases to misdemeanors — while also managing to lose half of the felony cases that do reach court.
Since taking office on Jan. 1, Bragg has downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors — compared to 39% in all of 2019. Between 2013 and 2020, under District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., the percentage of cases the office downgraded had never exceeded 40%, according to data made public by the DA’s office.

When serious felony charges are brought, Bragg’s office wins a conviction just 51% of the time — down from 68% in 2019, the last year before the pandemic disrupted the court system.

He has declined to prosecute 35 percent more felony cases this year than in 2019, with 1,119 so far in 2022 compared to 828 three years ago.

The DA’s office requested bail in only 49% of felony cases this year compared to 69% in 2019. State bail reform measures mean almost no non-violent felonies are eligible for bail now although they were in 2019.

Misdemeanor convictions have also spiraled downward — to 29% so far this year, from 68% in 2019.

Bragg, who campaigned last year on a promise of criminal justice reform, proudly displays the numbers on his web site , the only one of the city’s five district attorneys to do so.
“The people in charge right now want to talk about gun violence and getting these shootings down,” said Jennifer Harrison, the founder of Victims Rights NY. “But I wonder how many of the incidents [where] the charges were downgraded or dismissed or dropped involved guns or weapons, and how are we going to eradicate this kind of violence when people like Alvin Bragg are in charge?”

Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell today released new data highlighting the increase in recidivism in New York. They released a list of the top ten recidivists in the city and called for changes to stop rampant recidivism, erase the perception among criminals that there are no meaningful consequences for crime, and restore government’s focus on the victims of crime and disorder. In addition to other reforms, the Mayor and the Police Commissioner believe judges must be allowed to remand defendants at arraignment when they are deemed a risk to public safety based on the severity of their alleged crimes or their history of recidivism. New York State is now the only state in the country where a judge is barred from considering the danger an offender poses when deciding whether or not to set bail.

Leftist paradise fiction vs criminal reality. NY is a Democrat bastion of stupidity for sure.

An attention seeker that will do anything to be relevant, but not smart enough to do it on her own. Why do we care what she shits out of her pie hole?

This ill timed indictment will be a public relations nightmare for the Dems when the dust settles and Trump walks free.

The turd could have surrendered on Zoom. He wanted and asked for this spectacle against the advice of his SS detail.

If he defies their suggestions why should the SS even have to protect him? Alleged billionaires should have to pay for their own security. Why do we taxpayers have to foot the bill for the traitorous turd?

In a strange way, things may turn out well if they don't.
