Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t. [This is true. Of the 20 most violent major cities, only 19 have a Democrat mayor. The other one has an independent mayor.]
Washington Post ^ | June 25, 2020 | Philip Bump

Posted on 10/01/2022 1:45:29 PM PDT by grundle

“You hear about certain places like Chicago and you hear about what’s going on in Detroit and other — other cities, all Democrat run,” he said. “Every one of them is Democrat run. Twenty out of 20. The 20 worst, the 20 most dangerous are Democrat run.”

Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn’t a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.

The article would have you believe that all large cities have high crime.

BS

Tokyo has nearly 14 million people, and it’s been rated the safest city in the world!

Trump has been caught spreading Russian disinformation, again!

Indict him! Now!

Prevent him from running for president!

No liar should ever run for president! Never!

(Agree with me, and you’ll be agreeing that no democrat whatsoever should ever run for any office)

Out of 20, one isn't a Commucrat?

LOL!

Mayors are usually elected officials. If one of the cities changed parties since the last time Trump learned about 20 out of 20 being run by Democrats, it’s not a lie, just an error.

I recently saw a list of the top 10 most dangerous cities. 9 of them were run by a democrat mayor. WP is propaganda.

Burlington VT and Portland ME are run by Democrats and are very safe.

Are you sure it’s the Democrats and not something else that’s the problem?

How pathetic is the WP. If this is what passes as journalism then journalism does not exist at the WP — but then any thinking person new that.

Ever notice the media traditionally just reported whatever a president or politician says?

Then when Trump was elected, they introduced the phrase "without evidence." Every quote from Trump was preceded by that phrase. "Without evidence Trump claims ..."

Even when Trump presented affidavites (which meets the legal definition of "evidence"), the media reported, "Without evidence Trump accuses ..."

They also introduced the "Fact Check." Every claim by Trump was followed by "Fact Check: It's not true when Trump says ..."

After Trump left office, these terms melted away. Biden can spout whatever nonsense he wants, present no evidence, yet his remarks are just repeated without comment. No "Fact Check."

He’s very left-wing.

Philip Bump must have been dropped on his head as a child.

Independent is a candidate so bad that even though he belongs to the Dems they wont claim them. They will share in the graft however

It depends. In some cities the mayor has to run without party label, but everyone knows he’s a Democrat.

Again, I’m talking about citizens, not specifically politicians.

Sometimes desperate cities elect Republican major, kind of like Giuliani in New York.
Or, like Phoenix, we have officially nonpartisan major, but we are getting there. From Moderate Republican to Moderate Democrat to current Very Progressive!

A bit nit-picky aren’t we? Some independents aren’t a damn bit different than woke democrats. Not at all.

Springfield Mo. has non-partisan elected officials, but based on the bios, they’re all democrats.
