San Jose Mayor: W.H. Is Wrong That Pandemic Is Root Cause of Smash and Grab Crime

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo (D) disagreed with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s assertion that the pandemic is a root cause of the recent wave of smash and grab retail thefts and argued that criminals are at the root of the crimes.

Co-host Dana Perino asked, “[T]he White House yesterday said that they believe that the pandemic is at the root cause of a lot of this smash and grab crime.

I think criminals are at the root of smash and grab crimes and criminals come up with new arrangements every time that we catch them on the old ones.
