Violent crime coming down my a, er,eye!

David Muir lied, or didn't bother to actually ascertain the truth, in his "ract check" of Trump.

The big Blue cities stopped reporting  crimes, especially violent crimes, to the FBI in 2020 and haven't bothered since.

‘President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”

That was ABC News’ David Muir "fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris.

Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.

There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon.
