Biden Senior Adviser Blames Trump for Rising Crime Rates: It Started in 2020

KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS: The President has been out on the road and if anyone has been paying attention they heard him speak to the issues that are facing the American people. I also want to remind the American people that this uptick in crime was experienced in 2020 and this is when this began and the American people know who the President was at the time. That being said, President Biden is very much aware of the issues and challenges facing our country. For he’s been out on the road speaking about these issues and reminding people what this administration has done to make their lives better including through the Inflation Reduction Act, making sure that prescription drug costs are capped, making sure that the cost of insulin is capped, student loan debt relief and the list goes on.

>> So, Keisha, you’re saying that the uptick in crime is due to President Trump?

>> I am saying that I served as mayor in 2020 and we experienced this uptick in crime.
