Muir is just another fake journalist mentally challenged by his severe TDS and inability to tell the truth.
Trump is right, crime is up
A key moment in the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris came after ABC News moderator David Muir asked for details on how Trump would deal with illegal immigrants who had been released into the country by the Biden-Harris administration.
Trump said he would target migrants who committed crimes, noting that “crime here is up and through the roof.”
Muir interrupted Trump, something he never did to Vice President Kamala Harris, retorting, “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
To which Trump responded, “The FBI — they were defrauding statements. They didn’t include the worst cities. They didn’t include the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud. Just like their number of 818,000 jobs that they said they created turned out to be a fraud.”
Muir is right that FBI data show violent crime is down. However, Trump is also right that there are major problems with the FBI’s data. The comparison with problematic jobs data from the Department of Labor is a good one. The agency was forced to lower the number of jobs created during the Biden administration by almost a million, which showed that its previous figures were consistently misleading.
The falsehood of the FBI data can, however, be shown up in real time. One does not have to wait for an annual revision. This is because it is not the only crime data the federal government collects and releases each year. The Bureau of Justice Statistics operates the National Crime Victimization Survey. It releases new data every September, and it did so last week. They show Trump is right about crime and Muir is wrong. Crime is up, not down.
