YIKES! The Shocking Crime Stats Biden and the Media Don’t Want You to See
In the latest presidential debate, ABC News’ David Muir tried to play the role of “fact-checker” when President Trump rightfully called out the surge in crime under the Biden-Harris administration. Muir, in typical mainstream media fashion, interrupted, claiming the FBI reports show violent crime has decreased. But once again, the media got it wrong, and Trump was spot on.
What Muir conveniently left out is that Biden’s FBI changed the reporting system shortly after taking office, making it harder for local governments to report crime data. Major crime hubs like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles stopped participating. How convenient for Muir to ignore this, huh?
But the FBI isn’t the only game in town. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) paints a much darker picture of America under Biden. Their latest National Crime Victimization Survey shows that since Biden took office:
- Violent crime has surged 37%
- Rape is up 42%
- Assaults have jumped by 33%
- Property crime is up 8%
- Motor vehicle theft skyrocketed by 41%
The American people aren’t blind to this crime wave either. A recent Gallup poll showed that 77% of Americans believe crime is getting worse, and even 58% of Democrats agree.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign Press Secretary, summed it up perfectly: “ONLY President Trump will restore law and order, protect our police, secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. If you want to be safe, VOTE TRUMP.” The choice is clear: Trump for safety, or Biden for chaos.
