Fox News host Lawrence Jones said just ahead of midterm elections, crime — which should be leaders' top priority — has been reduced to a "political football" on "Cross Country."
LAWRENCE JONES: Do you all feel like the crime in the country is a big issue?… Safety is on the ballot in America… We're just three days out from Election Day and our nation's crime crisis is at the top of voters' minds. Public safety should be our leaders' top priority, but it's become a political football.
CRASH COURSE: THE BIG-TICKET ISSUES IMPACTING THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS FOR AMERICAN VOTERS
