Democrats Face Backlash Over Black Lives Matter Alliance

The Democratic Party is facing backlash for its association with Black Lives Matter and progressive criminal justice policies, which are seen as contributing to their recent electoral losses. The acquittal of Daniel Penny, a white Marine veteran charged in the death of Jordan Neely, a black man, highlights public discontent with perceived double standards in justice. This discontent is reflected in the replacement of several progressive prosecutors with those favoring tougher crime policies, signaling a shift even within traditionally Democratic constituencies.
