So, now that we know the truth proving Trump was correct in pointing it out vehemently in the debate, when can we expect an apology from ABC and the lying scumbag David Muir for "fact checking" Trump on the issue and using the phony numbers against him while helping Kamaltoe at every conceivable opportunity?*Huey » 16 Oct 2024, 3:08 pm » wrote: ↑ When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime.
But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

ABC News debate host claimed crime is down using incomplete data
ByAshley Oliver September 11, 2024
Former President Donald Trump’s claim during the presidential debate Tuesday that crime rates in the United States have risen was swiftly met with a fact-check by moderator David Muir, who pointed to data that is missing information.
The exchange occurred during a question about immigration, to which Trump responded by discussing crimes committed by migrants living in the United States illegally.
“All over the world, crime is down, all over the world, except here. Crime here is up and through the roof, despite their fraudulent statements that they made,” Trump said. “Crime in this country is through the roof, and we have a new form of crime. It’s called migrant crime, and it’s happening at levels that nobody thought possible.”
Muir, who is an ABC News anchor, interjected and pointed to a report from the FBI this year that said violent crime nationwide was down 15% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to one year ago.
“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says, overall, violent crime is actually coming down in this country,” Muir said.
Trump shot back that the FBI’s statistics were missing cities with the “worst crime.”
“Excuse me, the FBI — they were defrauding statements,” Trump said. “They didn’t include the worst cities. They didn’t include the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud.”
This initially resulted in some major U.S. police departments, including in New York City and Los Angeles, failing to comply with the FBI’s changed method. This meant that urban areas, where crime is more prevalent, were left out of the statistics.
