Many Democrats' pitches for electing Kamala Harris include claims that after nearly four years of Biden and Harris, crime is down everywhere, especially in big cities. Sen. Chris Murphy likes to say things like that in his pitch for electing more Democrats:

If you — if you say we’re not counted as a theft, if it’s not above 950 bucks or in one of the towns in my — my state, 2,000 bucks, you’re going to drive your theft and burglary statistics.”

Does that sound familiar? The Dems do it with the economy as well (with the media's help of course):
