Trump Campaign Fact Checks David Muir, Mainstream Media, and Kamala Harris on Rising Crime Rates

September 12, 2024

"FACT CHECK ALERT! More evidence released today proves David Muir, Kamala Harris, and the mainstream media are WRONG about their false claim that violent crime has not risen under the Harris-Biden Administration. 

 

According to the Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey released today, violent crime is up 37%, rape is up 42%, robbery is up 63%, and stranger violence is up 61% since 2020 during Kamala Harris' time as Vice President. 

 

If Kamala is given another four years and the chance to implement her weak-on-crime, defund the police, no cash bail policies, America will continue to turn into a crime-ridden hellhole for illegal immigrants, Venezuelan gangsters, and drug dealers. ONLY President Trump will restore law and order, protect our police, secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. If you want to be safe, VOTE TRUMP." – Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary
