Dems are cherry picking crime stats in D.C.

Saturday, August 16, 2025

Democrats across the country have been pushing back on President Trump's D.C. crime crackdown, citing statistics purportedly showing that crime in the nation's capital is down or even at historic lows, but an expert who spoke to Fox News Digital is pushing back on that narrative.

"But really what it is is a record of crimes that are reported to the police and then those of those crimes that get reported to the FBI. It's not a full record of all violent crimes, and this is a problem. And the FBI is very explicit about this when they present the data in their formal report every year, where they say, Do not directly compare the data from year to year because there are differences in how frequently people report crimes and how frequently the FBI gets that data from the local police agencies

Define "expert" please Bozo.

A legitimate expert wouldn't even waste their time.

An "expert" on Fox Spews.

lol

"Push back" all you want from your safe space.

I'll believe nothing that propaganda arm of the republicans says. They are not under oath. They are blabbering on a network successfully sued for lying.

See you in court where you cannot spread lies and misinformation without risking contempt or perjury charges you fargin ICE hole.

There's nothing happening in DC that demands military occupation.

Trump wants military occupation because that's what dictators do.
