Remember When David Muir Said Crime Was Down? Yeah, About That…NYC Subway Murders SOAR SIXTY PERCENT

Posted • September 15, 2024: When David Muir tired to assist Kamala Harris during last week's debate by fact-checking Trump on violent crime, it turned out he (and Kamala) were lying. Violent crime is not down from when Trump was in office.

From 1997 to 2020, there were never more than five murders in the subway in a single year, according to the earliest public NYPD data. -- Gee. What changed in 2020? We wonder. Impossible. I was assured crime is down. We hate to break this to you, but they lied. So, if murder is up 60%, that means all other crimes are also up by at least that amount whether they report it or not. Murder is the only crime stat they can't hide. And they'd so very much like to hide that stat, too. (…)
