<p>Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat against Republican J.D. Vance, faced backlash online Wednesday over past remarks that he made about the U.S. Justice System.</p>
<p>In the controversial remarks, Ryan calls the U.S. Justice System &#8220;racist,&#8221; claiming that it was &#8220;the new Jim Crow.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I believe the current criminal justice system is racist,&#8221; Ryan <a href="https://twitter.com/henryrodgersdc/status/1537112726698348545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1537112726698348545%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fpolitics%2F2022%2F06%2F15%2Fohio-democrat-tim-ryan-attacked-cops-in-2019-criminal-justice-system-is-racist%2F">said</a>. &#8220;I believe in my heart it’s the new Jim Crow.”</p>
<p>Even more shocking about Ryan&#8217;s remarks was the fact that they were made in the summer of 2019, a year before Black Lives Matter protests and riots rocked the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.</p>
<p>Ryan&#8217;s remarks generated a wide range of responses from former U.S. officials, political figures, and media personalities.</p>
<p>Vance responded, &#8220;Hey @TimRyan care to comment?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yikes!!!&#8221; Donald Trump Jr. responded. &#8220;We already knew that Two-Faced Tim Ryan was a flip-flopping fraud, but now he&#8217;s been exposed as a leftwing anti-police radical.&#8221;</p>
<p>Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence, also weighed in, writing on Twitter: &#8220;I hope every police officer in Ohio and their family members see what @TimRyan said in 2019.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He joined the mob’s attacks on law enforcement!&#8221; Grenell added. &#8220;Disgraceful.&#8221;</p>
<p>WATCH:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ohio Senate candidate <a href="https://twitter.com/TimRyan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TimRyan</a> is out with a new ad today about his supposed support of law enforcement, but here&#39;s what Ryan had to say back in 2019: </p>
<p>“I believe the current criminal justice system is racist. I believe in my heart it’s the new Jim Crow.”<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OHSen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#OHSen</a> <a href="https://t.co/x4hbg0PTPb">pic.twitter.com/x4hbg0PTPb</a></p>

<p>Other notable responses included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Andrew Surabian</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;In addition to the below, just last year @TimRyan literally voted AGAINST a motion in the House to condemn calls to &#8216;defund&#8217;, &#8216;disband&#8217;, or &#8216;abolish&#8217; the police&#8230;He&#8217;s a total fraud.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Steve Cortes</strong>, media personality: &#8220;Wow. Tim Ryan tries to fool Ohioans into believing that he’s some moderate. In reality, Ryan is a Washington establishment radical who spews anti-cop propaganda.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Kaelan Dorr</strong>, Marketing and Global Engagement at GETTR: &#8220;Big yikes! People won&#8217;t be gaslit this easily by a flip-flopping fraud and far-left radical!”</li>
<li><strong>Cliff Sims</strong>, former White House official: &#8220;Why vote for a Lib pretending to be @JDVance1 when you could just vote for @JDVance1 ? Weird campaign strategy, @TimRyan.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Steven Cheung</strong>, former White House official: &#8220;Tim Ryan is a fraud and a phony. The voters of Ohio can’t trust this charlatan who will do and say anything— including outright lying— to deceive the public.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Ryan James Girdusky</strong>, political consultant: &#8220;Tim Ryan would handcuff every single police officer from doing their job. He supported the BLM riots as they destroyed people&#8217;s lives. &#8220;</li>
