Fact-checking night 2 of the Republican National Convention

 https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/16/politics/fact-check-night-2-republican-national-convention/index.html

Facts First: Johnson’s claims about dramatic increases in violence and crime are false, as is the convention video’s claim that there is a problem “everywhere” with “rising crime.” Official data published by the FBI shows violent crime dropped significantly in the US in 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, though there were increases in some communities; violent crime is now lower than it was in 2020, President Donald Trump’s last calendar year in office.

Stefanik’s claim of a “violent crime crisis” under Biden is subjective, but she certainly did not acknowledge that the current numbers under Biden are superior to final Trump-era numbers.

  1. Again, you're peddling a lie.
    Crime is up significantly but Deomcrat DA's refuse to lay charges and that's where they take their statistics from.
