Biden Accused Of Giving Misleading Crime Data

President Biden’s claims that violent crime rates are falling across the nation have come under fire from “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh. In a scathing critique, Walsh accused the president of cherry-picking statistics from a few cities to support his overall narrative.
Walsh argued that while crime might have decreased in certain cities this year, it does not negate that these cities experienced significant crime spikes in the previous year. According to Walsh, a decrease in two murders does not count as a significant reduction in crime.
During a recent White House speech, President Biden claimed that violent crime rates are falling across the country. However, he did not provide specific numbers to support his claim; instead, he offered a general assertion that crime is decreasing with few exceptions.
Walsh, a renowned victim advocate, remains unconvinced by these claims. He pointed to cities like Chicago, which has faced high crime rates and is known for its soft-on-crime policies. Walsh also criticized the impact of the “Defund the Police” movement in cities like Portland, which experienced significant unrest following the George Floyd riots in 2020.
