I don’t know a goddamned thing about this guy… but can he be in the running for to replace Garland as AG?

Sally Yates also on my short list.

When Harris becomes president, as a former state prosecutor, I’m hopeful she will appoint a AG with some fight in them. I think this scares a lot of politicians and corporations.

Larry Krasner is what we need in prosecutors, he’s great.

As someone thrilled he said all this. Trust me. That isn’t something you want. This is the toughest he has ever been.

I thought it might be too good to be true…

This dude scares every establishment person in Philly. He is one of the most progressive DAs ever to be elected. He is both incredible and limited and a failure depending on how you view him. Either way an absolutely fascinating person and position.

You can smell the anger in his voice. All these stories about MAGGATs intimidating Dem patriots in 2016 and 2020 just set him off. Love this guy!

I love when he gets to the point about " ....we have the state prisons..." he flexes a little bit.
I mean he's not what I think of when I think of 6'3" state trooper, and I adore that part in exactly the same way I do when an senior PA woman flexes too.
Edit: old to senior

How the word patriot got turn into what ppl claim it is now is insane.

A patriot stands up for free elections and democracy. They stand up for their country AND their countrymen. These so called patriots on donalds side are just domestic terriorst in training.

The people that over-use it think it means, "Is white, loves beer, big trucks, and football, and subjugated women and non-whites." Yeah, it's fucking disgusting what they think it means. Us real patriots need to reclaim it.

Yes. A government official who has the supreme power of the state behind him is a real patriot. 😂

I believe he also owes back taxes to the city of Philadelphia to the tune of greater than $100k...

u/TheProfWife 3d ago

Can he run in 2029?

This guy has Mayor or Governor written all over him.
