CRIME FACTS NEWSOM MISSED: Issues & Insights (I&) dug into the crime data for America’s major urban areas and found some facts that ought to be on the front page of the New York Times, Washington Post and throughout the Mainstream Media:
- Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 14 are located in blue or purple states.
- Just one of the remaining six currently has a Republican mayor – Dallas’ Eric Johnson – and he was twice elected as a Democrat, and switched to become a Republican in his second term.
- The remaining five cities, despite being in red states, have been under Democratic control for years, if not decades.
There’s more, much more, in this much-needed fact-based corrective to pretty much everything being claimed about crime by the like of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill.
