Socialist Candidate's Ideas on Law and Order

Fox News host Sean Hannity talked to Chris Rabb, a Democratic Socialist, about his ideas.

Rabb, who may represent Philadelphia in Congress, questioned the idea of 'illegal immigrants' and said most police work isn't about catching criminals.

Chris Rabb is a state representative from Pennsylvania who has proposed many progressive ideas, like ending the death penalty and using only renewable energy by 2050.

In 2019, Rabb suggested a 'carbon pricing' bill to tax companies that release a lot of greenhouse gases, with the money going to help low-income people and workers who lose jobs in the fossil fuel industry.

Sean Hannity said Rabb's platform has very radical and far-left positions.

Some people are worried that socialist ideas are becoming more popular in the Democratic party.

Chris Rabb has supported other progressive candidates, like Abdulrahman El-Sayed in Michigan.

Hannity listed some of Rabb's ideas, including Medicare for all, a universal basic income, and government-run grocery stores.

Hannity thinks Rabb's ideas would fundamentally change the country in a very dangerous way.

Rabb said he isn't running on the idea of abolishing the Senate, which is part of the Democratic Socialist platform.

When asked about amnesty for 'illegals' and open borders, Rabb said 'What are illegals?'

Some Democrats have compared ICE to 'domestic terrorists'.

Hannity defined 'illegal immigrants' as people who enter the country without permission.

Rabb didn't accept the premise of the question about 'illegals'.

Rabb said people with documentation aren't committing crimes, and he wants to abolish ICE and 'immigrant concentration camps'.

Rabb wants to end all deportations and create a fair and efficient immigration system.

A Wisconsin Democratic Socialist candidate was confronted about past comments on defunding the police.

Chris Rabb has campaigned with New York progressives.

Rabb was asked about abolishing the police, which is part of socialist doctrine.

Rabb said the concept of policing has evolved over time and wasn't always a part of American society.

Rabb thinks communities can be safe without a strong police presence, since most police work isn't about catching bad guys.

The Philadelphia police department wasn't formed until 1854, and before that, neighborhoods were patrolled by local constables and watchmen.

Many House Democrats voted against a resolution honoring police officers.

Rabb said his family, who are from the South, had to defend themselves because they couldn't trust the police, who were often part of the Ku Klux Klan.

Rabb won the primary election, defeating a state senator who was backed by many Democratic leaders.

Rabb will likely face an independent candidate in the general election since no Republicans ran in the primary.

Fox News reached out to Rabb for comment on his ideas.

Chris Rabb is from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and has worked for Fox News in New York and Washington since 2013.
