They have made that claim for decades, and it has always rested on a dubious premise. The premise depends on statistics compiled by advocacy groups that exclude a vast catalog of left-wing violence"from the George Floyd riots to murders committed by pro-Palestinian activists and attacks on synagogues, Catholic churches, Tesla dealerships, and ICE facilities.
