RUDY GIULIANI: Good evening. My name is Rudy Giuliani. And I'm the former mayor of New York City. In 2013, my city elected a self-described progressive Democrat as mayor. New York City, once described as America's crime capital, had become by the mid 1990s America's safest large city. Now, today, my city is in shock. Murders, shootings, and violent crime are increasing at percentages unheard of in the past.

We're seeing the return of rioting and looting. During riots, this Democrat mayor, like others, has often prevented the police from making arrests . And even when arrests are made, liberal, "progressive" DAs release the rioters so as not to disrupt the rioting. New Yorkers wonder, how did we get overwhelmed by crime so quickly and decline so fast? Don't let Democrats do to America what they have done to New York.
