Gov. Ed Rendell Speaks Out Against Krasner - a podcast by Radio.com

Gov. Ed Rendell returns to the Dom Giordano Program to lead off the second hour of today’s show. First, Dom asks for Ed’s thoughts on the Eagles, being that Rendell is a lifelong Eagles fan. Rendell, who served as the District Attorney and Mayor in Philadelphia, as well as the Governor of Pennsylvania, has a lot to say about what we’re seeing by current leadership in Philadelphia. Rendell leads off by telling Giordano that he usually does not speak out about predecessors, but there is a pattern here, particularly by District Attorney Larry Krasner, that has led our city into despair. Rendell reads back his initial statement when he first spoke out against Krasner in endorsing Democratic opponent Carlos Vega, telling that he believes Krasner to be a good person who has lost his way in protecting the citizens of the city. Giordano asks Rendell if he takes personal offense when Krasner speaks out about the history of the DAs office and justice reform in the city, being a huge proponent himself for the cause, to which Rendell affirms and explains that reform is indeed necessary but the safety of citizens should be the primary goal. Then, Dom spends the remainder of the hour discussing issues surrounding crime, and Producer Dan reads back a statement by Krasner responding to the media criticism surrounding his words earlier this week in which he refused to call the crime situation in Philadelphia a ‘crisis.’ (Photo by Lisa Lake/Getty Images for Pennsylvania Conference for Women)
