Biden Blasted After Claiming Crime Rate Has Fallen To 50 YEAR Low
Modernity ^ | 29 February 2024 | Steve Watson

Posted on 02/29/2024 5:54:45 PM PST by packagingguy

Joe Biden was slammed online after claiming that the crime rate in the US has fallen to the lowest point its been in half a century.

Biden has claimed 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.”

Respondents noted that Biden completely ignored a huge spike in violent crime in large, mostly Democrat run, cities.

Biden made the comments while touting a fact sheet on what he’s done to “fight crime.”

Others noted that the drop in overall crime can be attributed to a massive reduction in reporting of crime stats and simply making things that were previously criminal no longer crimes.

Here’s another DNC talking point…crime is lower than ever.

Who would have thought?

There’s no crime wave, unless we’re talking about rural white people who are threatening our democracy.

Oh and we need an assault weapons ban anyhow.

He should talk about our Martian colonies. He doesn’t say enough about those.

The very definition, and one of the more horrible examples, of gaslighting....

Repeating a “factoid” over and over still does not make it into a verifiable fact.

“Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”

Delusion - it’s not just a river in Egypt.

(Yes, I know it’s supposed to be “denial,” just making a mangled metaphor.)

The gunshots I heard as my neighbor was getting murmured were all my imagination. It was all in his too.

So why did they bury him?

Densely packed poor people commit the most crime forever.

Import millions of poor folks, pack them in densely and the result can only result in more crime.

The Dems are largely left with the coastal elites, millions of illegals and the dimmest bulbs in the box.

This is reminding - it would appear that guns sales are through the roof and exactly why we haven’t heard much if at all the past few months. The CIC (Commander in Crime) has been silent on this.

This makes perfect sense.

We live in a world with versions of the truth and where people believe if you just believe in something hard enough, it’ll make it so.

Democrats have figured out the secret - don’t try to explain away facts, just talk right over them.

Just because leftist judges and prosecutors refuse to put criminals on trial doesn’t mean they didn’t do the crimes.

Just because police are afraid to arrest certain classes of criminals, doesn’t mean there is any reduction in crime.

Just because the Biden Family doesn’t get punished for their crimes, doesn’t mean that they aren’t criminals.

I guess people can't see that Joe Biden is being TOLD these things. Joe, your economy is the best ever. Joe, the border is secure. It's just those Republicans that are saying it's wide open, it's not. Why do you think Biden was taken to Brownsville ? Because they intentionally took him there to show him things are fine even though they are bull$hit.

Joe Biden is not in control. Obama is !

As someone who was there, 50 years ago, in NYC, though yes, there was some crime and a few crazy people ( not many ) roaming certain neighborhoods, nobody was being shoved onto the tracks, nor stabbed in the subway system nor on buses.

No department stores were being continually looted by gangs!

You could be in Times Square and NOT be assaulted, stabbed, nor shot!

There were NO "protesters" shutting down traffic, going into museums/trying to get into museums to cause harm!

Jews were not being attacked willy nilly on college campuses, on the street, etc.!

Then we moved to Chicago. And the same was true there! And in neither city were people living on the streets, in the parks, going to elite neighborhoods and robbing and worse!

I could go one, point by point; however I chose to just give some highlights! Unlike Biden, my memory is still superior and I was an eyewitness to what I've posted.

Question that will never be asked by the media

What Biden act or policy lead to the downturn in crime?(Other than decriminalizing actual crimes(looking at you California, New York, Illinois, etc))

What policy lead to uptick crimes during the Trump years?(Other than the releasing if convicts from blue state prisons because of the Couff!?)
