1% of Democrat Counties Make Up 42% of America’s Murders
America doesn’t have a crime problem, it has a Democrat problem.
March 21, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield
Democrats desperately trying to spin high crime rates caused by their pro-crime policies began falsely claiming that crime was a Republican problem. The media began running articles with headlines like, “Red States Have Higher Murder Rates” and “Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime — But They’re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem”.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who once claimed that the internet would have no more of an impact than the fax machine, argued that high crime was really a Republican problem and decided to prove it by claiming that, “Oklahoma’s murder rate was almost 50 percent higher than California’s, almost double New York’s.”
Krugman, who somehow has a Nobel Prize, failed to note that most of the murders were coming out of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. In last year’s gubernatorial election, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt won most of the state while Oklahoma, Tulsa and Cleveland counties however went to leftist Democrat Joy Hofmeister. The ‘blue’ parts of Oklahoma are also red with blood.
“The fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch,” Hoffmeister had claimed in a viral gubernatorial debate attack. Oklahoma had 287 murders in 2020: 166 came out of Oklahoma County and Tulsa County, the two counties that supported Hoffmeister.

LMAO:
Most of Minnesota is safe.....except for Minneapolis
Most of Wisconsin is safe...except for Milwaukee and Madison.
Most of Alabama is safe...except for Birmingham
The list goes on and on. What do all these cities have in common?
The article is right. We have Democrat problem

All of which raises an interesting question: as was noted in the case of Oklahoma, even though Oklahoma's murders are mostly confined to its liberal-run cities, the state's overall murder rate is higher than, say, New York's rate (as a state). Since NY consists of several major cities that are all democrat-run, within a state that itself is democrat-run, one would think on a first pass that NY's rate would be worse than Oklahoma's, not better, if democrat leadership were the sole determinative factor.
In other words, why does it seem to be the case that a democrat-run city in a republican-run state seems to have a higher murder rate than a democrat-run state that contains only democrat-run cities?
