President Joe Biden spoke on crime Wednesday and released a fact sheet claiming that during the Trump administration, "America saw the largest increase in murders ever recorded," while "Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been a significant decrease in crime — including one of the largest yearly declines in homicides ever. " To what does Biden attribute this sudden drop in homicides?
The gaslighting from Biden on this, whose Vice President fundraised for violent rioters, rapists and murderers, is another level. 2020 violence was organized and endorsed by defund the police, pro-BLM Democrats. pic.twitter.com/dL10rMpSZH

Biden says last year the U.S. had "one of the lowest rates of all violent crimes in more than 50 years."
What Biden failed to acknowledge is the spike in violent crime in Democrat-run cities, mostly notably Washington, D.C., which saw it's deadliest year in over two decades in 2023.
We loved it when Fox News Peter Doocy asked if Biden would park his precious Corvette on the streets of D.C. overnight after a member of Congress was carjacked at gunpoint.
Biden just gave brief remarks on "crime."

He didn't mention Laken Riley — murdered by an illegal alien his administration welcomed in — once.
Absolutely shameful.
Crossing the border illegally? That's a crime.
.@POTUS: “Last year, the United States had one of the lowest rates of all violent crime in more than 50 years.

Murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery all dropped sharply along with burglary property crime and theft.
It matters.”

It's not hard to see a drop in crime when you declare nothing is a crime.

When you stop charging for crime you reduce crime https://t.co/vStmJMtqvz pic.twitter.com/lW8otZ87ud

Just because liberal cities don’t even bother arresting these people anymore

lol what? You mean they stopped reporting it and no longer prosecute. This is a very dangerous claim… but I’m sure you already know that.

If you don’t charge the crime I suppose your illegitimate statistics make sense ! No charges no crime right?
— LAURA (@realLauraLenti) February 28, 2024
10 million illegals crossed illegally, that’s ten million crime charges right there!
SMH
Your crime statistics are wrong. Just like your employment statistics every time you release them. You always have to redact them!

Tell the People who got the MOST JOBS: Illegals!
DC had the Deadliest Year (2023) Ever! https://t.co/b63Z5H3srl
This is what Google says:
With the fifth-highest murder rate among the country's most populous cities, Washington, D.C. has drawn national attention for its recent spike in violent crime. The statistics are sobering: 2023 was the District's deadliest year since 1997, with 274 recorded homicides.
But don't worry … Biden is going to ban assault weapons and solve the problem.
It's easy to reduce crime when you rename it "mostly peaceful protest."

Arrest and conviction numbers do go down when you don’t arrest and convict. That is true.
— Jim Tussing (@JimTussing) February 28, 2024
If you don’t charge them, the numbers are not accurate, but nice try.

Even if your statement was true, which it’s not, it would have nothing to do with any policy of the Biden administration. In fact, it would be in spite of it.
— Steve L (@stevewe99218425) February 28, 2024
Exactly? Which policy of the Biden administration are we to thank for this precipitous drop in crime? Because we're seeing a lot of crime on social media that doesn't get reported.
