City Councilmember Sharon Vaughn: “We cannot let other politicians from outside of Philadelphia dictate who we decide to elect.
“It is absolute foolishness to believe that DA Larry Krasner is setting criminals free. We know that—that is just propaganda. We know that is not true. We know that this man has been fighting for people who look like me for a very long time.
“I believe he will continue to protect the city to the best of his ability. Let’s not get caught up in the game. Let’s not become part of the scam. Let’s keep fighting for what we know is right.”
Lorraine “Mrs. Dee Dee” Haw, Coalition to Abolish Death By Incarceration (CADBI):
“I’m a sister of a brother that was murdered by gun violence; and a mother of an only child that’s been incarcerated going on 28 years. DA Larry Krasner has done more for me than anybody that’s connected to the impeachment effort.
“He is doing what we, the people asked him and voted him in to do. It’s only that when he decided that he’s going to arrest corrupted police officers--that the apple fell off the tree. Nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t break no law.
“I need to really let people know that if y’all kick him out, y’all kicking all of us out.”
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers President Jerry T. Jordan:
“In the waning days of their political power, the fact that these Republicans have chosen divisiveness, racism, and a willful commitment to putting their heads in the sand about real issues facing Pennsylvanians should, in fact surprise none of us.
