Larry Krasner Sides with Criminals—Now He’s Calling for Violence Against Republicans
PHILADELPHIA, PA – March 25, 2025 – The Philadelphia Republican City Committee (PhillyGOP) today condemned Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s recent rhetoric, accusing him of inciting violence against Republicans.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has spent years excusing and enabling crime. Now, he’s taken it a step further—openly calling for Republicans to be ‘punched in the face as hard as possible,’ according to a recent article.
This isn’t just reckless rhetoric from the city’s top prosecutor—it’s a dangerous escalation from a man who has already shown he prioritizes criminals over victims.
The Philly GOP pointed to Krasner’s record, citing his handling of the 2020 riots and looting, the city’s high homicide rate, his stance on the Uniform Firearms Act (VUFA), and his approach to the city’s drug epidemic.
Under his leadership, Philadelphia earned the nickname ‘Killadelphia,’ experiencing one of the highest homicide rates in the nation. Krasner refused to prosecute violations of the Uniform
Firearms Act (VUFA)—offenses that make someone 30% more likely to commit violent crimes like rape or homicide. Instead of enforcing the law, he let armed criminals walk free, fueling the
city’s deadly crime wave. His failure to act got so bad that Republicans in the Pennsylvania House moved to impeach him for dereliction of duty—holding him accountable where he refused to hold criminals accountable.
The committee also criticized Krasner’s response to the city’s drug crisis, alleging that his “sanctuary city policies” protect drug traffickers.
While Krasner makes excuses, Republicans have stepped up where he has failed. They created the Gun Violence Task Force to go after illegal firearms and the criminals who use them—commonsense measures to keep the city safe. But instead of enforcing the law, Krasner would rather attack those who call out his failures.
The Philly GOP concluded by calling for a denouncement of Krasner’s rhetoric from all elected officials.
“Krasner’s words are not just reckless—they are dangerous. Every elected official, Democrat and Republican, should denounce this kind of rhetoric. Otherwise, they are complicit in the chaos he has unleashed on Philadelphia. Philadelphians deserve real leadership—not a prosecutor who excuses criminals, attacks political opponents, and puts law-abiding citizens last.
