DeSantis has also repeated the Republican line that crime has soared in blue cities because of “woke” criminal justice policy. That too just isn’t true. In 2020 and 2021, the homicide rate in GOP whipping boy cities like New York and San Francisco was lower than that of nearly every large Republican-run city, including Omaha, Fresno, Tulsa, Colorado Springs, and Oklahoma City.
Crime has risen all across the US but more in the Blue States. Claims to the contrary are lies and manipulatin of statistics. Unless California and New York are now Blue States.
ReplyDeleteFor example, crime rates in San Francisco haven't risen significantly because the police no longer charge criminals. Great way to bring the rate down.
