The Biden-Harris administration has been attempting to gaslight us all into believing that crime hasn’t been on the rise since President Joe Biden took over the White House and essentially opened our southern border wide open, but as it turns out, we really have been experiencing a sizable uptick in crime across the country. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, under the radar, revised its report concerning lower crime back in 2022, which was the second full year of the current administration, to show that violent crime actually rose by 4.5 percent.
According to a new report from Breitbart, Biden shot off at the mouth on June 11, 2024, boasting that the policies put in place by the administration — which includes current Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — actually lowered crime.
“You know, the year before I came to the presidency, the murder rate was the highest increase on record. Last year, we saw the largest decrease of murder in the history of (inaudible). (Applause.) And those rates are continuing to fall faster than ever. Last year, we also saw one of the lowest rates of all violent crime in nearly 50 years. Murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery all dropped sharply, along with burglary and property crime,” the president said.
On June 24, 2024, Breitbart News did a “FACT CHECK” on the FBI report showing lower crime for 2022 and noted the report was missing information from thousands of police precincts did not report crime data. Other outlets called out the FBI report as well and now, months later, the federal agency has corrected the record.
A report that was put together by the folks over at Real Clear Investigations pointed out:
When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.
“The updated FBI data for 2022 shows there were 1,699 more murders than originally reported, 7,780 more rapes, over 33,000 more robberies, and over 37,000 more aggravated assaults,” the Breitbart report stated. Carl Moody, a professor and crime researcher with the College of William & Mary, noticed that the FBI hasn’t had to make this kind of correction to a crime report since the start of the 21st century.
Moody went on to say, “I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022, there were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”
This just further proves that if a Democrat’s mouth is moving, he or she is probably spinning a yarn. You can’t believe anything they say, especially when you’re seeing tons and tons of reports from all over the country that demonstrate the exact opposite of the narrative they’re pushing on you.
We need the wall. We need someone to enforce the law.
You all know who I’m talking about.
