Republican politicians routinely claim that cities run by Democrats have been experiencing crime waves caused by failed governance, but a new study shows murder rates are actually higher in states and cities controlled by Republicans.
“We’re seeing murders in our cities, all Democrat-run,” former President Donald Trump asserted at a March 26 rally in Georgia. “People are afraid to go out.”
In February, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., blamed Democrats for a 2018 law that reduced some federal prison sentences — even though it was signed by Trump after passing a GOP-controlled Congress. “It’s your party who voted in lockstep for the First Step Act that let thousands of violent felons on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes,” Cotton said during a speech in the Senate.

IMHO, the mayor of a city has more impact on crime rates in that city than foes the governor of the state.
States and cities are not the same. The article deliberately ignores that fact.
Has more to do with the share of a certain ethnicity in a given state than it’s politics.
That’s really the key thing.
Especially those with Soros-backed DAs.
In case you need a good laugh Ping...
KY and LA have RAT governors. Typical yahoo fail.
Yep. ‘rates’ is the key word.
Well played, MSM, well played.
Um, demon rat run cities have the highest murder rates. Leave it to the media enemy of we the people to spin demon rat evil into opposite the truth.
All are states with a high percentage of blacks.
Yup.
But then they wouldn't tell you that would they?
The normal far left disinformation and propaganda.
