As Twitchy readers know, Democrats and our pals on the Left have been pushing a particular set of talking points today, claiming that Trump is a big meanie for fighting crime in D.C. because crime is totally down. Like, totally.
Totally.
Except, you know, it's not.
White House sends out these stats/examples on DC crime:

-In 2024, Washington, DC had the fourth-highest homicide rate in the US, with a homicide rate nearly SIX TIMES HIGHER than New York City.
-Just last month, a D.C. police commander was suspended for manipulating crime data…
Post continues:
... to make it seem lower than it actually is. The D.C. police union says this practice is widespread.
-Washington D.C.’s homicide rate also topped Atlanta, Chicago and Compton.
-Washington, D.C. has one of the highest robbery and murder rates among large U.S. cities nationwide with numerous assaults and robberies on Congressional staffers and Members of Congress. In May, two embassy staffers were murdered.
-In June, a Congressional intern was fatally shot just a short distance from the White House.
-Just days ago, a Trump Administration staffer was mercilessly beaten by a violent mob.
Gosh, Democrats are lying about violent crime in D.C.?!
WE'RE SHOCKED! SHOCKED!

But you know, violent crime is down.
*eye roll*
But Democrats will swear there’s low crime in DC.

They will.
They ARE.
Heck, they have been.
It's funny how that works - how numbers decrease when you stop reporting them altogether.
