Bill McSwain, a Republican gubernatorial candidate for Pennsylvania, announced on Feb. 15 his plans to fight crime in a press conference held in Northeast Philadelphia. He promised to restore law and order as governor and said the cause of high crime rates is due to lack of prosecution.
“I am the law and order candidate for governor,” McSwain said to the crowd, “And I have a message for would-be criminals in this city: when I am governor, I am coming for you. You will either obey the law, or you will go to jail—and you will stay there for a long time.”
