This claim:
“Crime is not on the rise. It’s actually going down.”
— Joy Behar, TuesdayWe say: With elections near, the left’s desperate to get voters to ignore crime they see with their own eyes. “The View’s” Joy Behar says she “looked it up” and found murders in major cities down 4%. Which proves nothing: As a report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association found, robberies through June 30 this year rose 13%, aggravated assaults 2.6%. And murders were up 50% vs. 2019. (In NYC, overall crime’s up 30% this year.) Sorry, but voters’ eyes aren’t lying.
This warning:
“[There’s been a] dangerous rise . . . in voter intimidation.”
— President Biden, Wednesday We say: President Biden warned of rising voter “intimidation” no less than nine times in his Wednesday speech but offered absolutely no evidence to back it up. Why? Because there isn’t any. Yes, rhetoric (from both the left and right) can get ugly, and someone, somewhere, might’ve threatened some voter. But turnout this year is already breaking records.
