How Stand Up Virginia Is Working to Hold Rogue Prosecutors Accountable

b'Brenda Tillett is the founder and president of Stand Up Virginia.\\nShe joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about the new organization and how it\\u2019s working to hold rogue prosecutors accountable.\\n"In Fairfax County, Steve Descano was funded by George Soros," Tillett says. Descano is the elected Fairfax County, Va., commonwealth\'s attorney. Soros is a leftist billionaire who funds a wide variety of left-wing candidates and causes.\\nAnd there are four other rogue commonwealth\'s attorneys in Virginia who were also funded by George Soros. What they do is, they go in, and they completely dismantle law enforcement.And what do I mean by that? Well, for instance, Steve Descano has a policy that if you\'re a juvenile, meaning 17 years old, you will not have a public record. You won\'t have a criminal record.So if you want to get together with your friends who are gang members and beat up a 30-year-old man who\'s leaving a convenience store, bash his teeth in, leave him bleeding to die, Steve Descano will either bring that down to a misdemeanor or not prosecute you.Tillett joins the podcast to discuss all of that and more.\\nJeff Hunt, the director of the Lakewood, Colorado-based Centennial Institute, also joins "The Daily Signal Podcast." Hunt\'s organization this week is hosting the Western Conservative Summit, which includes "live speakers as well as mini-documentaries showcasing Western leaders, Western issues, and the beauty and majesty of the Western United States."\\nWe also cover these stories:\\n\\nPresident Joe Biden arrives at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Monday and reaffirms America\'s commitment to the North Atlantic alliance.\\xa0\\n\\nBefore his meeting with Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin tells NBC that he isn\\u2019t able to give his word as to whether or not Alexei Navalny, an opposition leader and critic of Putin, will leave prison alive.\\n\\nRepublicans introduce a resolution to censure Rep.
