Republicans in the Pennsylvania House filed articles of impeachment on Oct. 26 against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, saying he should be removed from office for embracing left-wing policies that have fueled rampant homicide and violent crime numbers.

“I recognize the unprecedented nature of what must be done and am confident our members are up to the task,” Republican Rep. Martina White said at a news conference in announcing the articles of impeachment, according to NBC News.
