At the New to Las Vegas world headquarters I received in the mail today a flyer from the Nevada Republican Party (headed, it should be noted, by a fake elector) listing “Trump’s Real Common Sense Agenda.” The last point, which you can see nearby: “Keep violent criminals off the streets” (circle added by me).
In my view, the clear implication seems to be that it’s okay for non-violent criminals–like say, anyone declared guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records–to stay on the streets. Personally, I find it hard to pick and choose among felons.
I’m wondering if that printed agenda point was carefully hedged–not “criminals” or “all criminals” but just “violent criminals.” Otherwise, it might appear that Silver State Republicans were calling for the jailing of their ultimate leader.
