BIDEN LIES: Crime Edition

June 27, 2024

 

BIDEN LIE: Trust the FBI crime "data."

 

When Crooked Joe Biden took office, the FBI changed how it collects crime data — and thousands of local jurisdictions stopped reporting their crime stats. In fact, the FBI's Q1 2024 data is missing nearly a third of the nation's law enforcement agencies — including from many of the most violent cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and New Orleans.

 

The data is also missing an entirely new category of crime against U.S. citizens at the hands of illegal aliens the Biden administration has ferried in — BIDEN MIGRANT CRIME.

  • Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of five, was raped and strangled to death by an illegal alien in 2023. Her partially naked body was found in a drainage tunnel near a hiking trail.
  • Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia, was savagely murdered by an illegal alien who strangled her and beat her over the head with a rock as she was out for a jog.
  • Jocelyn Nonegury, a 12-year-old Houston girl, was brutally murdered by two illegal aliens who lured her under a bridge, tied her up, and sexually assaulted her for hours before killing her and throwing her body into a bayou. One of her assailants was wearing an ICE ankle monitor as he committed the heinous crimes.

Crooked Joe Biden has their blood — and the blood of many others — on his hands.

 

BIDEN LIE: "Crime rates are down nationally."

 

Biden is relying on highly incomplete data to make wildly inaccurate claims as he tells Americans not to believe their lying eyes — but a much more accurate picture emerges from the DOJ's National Crime Victimization Survey.

  • There was a 43% increase in violent crimes, a 58% increase in rapes, an 89% Increase in aggravated assaults, and a 56% increase in robberies between 2020 and 2022, the most recent year for which data is available.
  • More Americans were victims of violent crimes in 2022 than in any year since 2012.
  • Crooked Joe Biden has presided over three of the four most murderous years in the last quarter century.
  • Even using the flawed FBI data, there has been a 10% increase in the average annual number of homicides under Biden (20,700) compared to President Trump (18,627).

BIDEN LIE: "Public safety and crime reduction is a top priority."

 

Crooked Joe Biden has repeatedly prioritized the wellbeing of criminals over the safety of law-abiding Americans — and the police officers who defend them.

Biden has also called for the elimination of qualified immunity for police, stripping them of protections that would inevitably bankrupt police departments and an unleash an endless wave of litigation — and place a target on their backs.

  • There has been a 21% increase in the number of police officers shot in the line of duty since Biden took office.
  • The number of ambush-style attacks against law enforcement officers — and the number of officers who have been killed as a result — have doubled under Biden.
  • 2023 marked the highest rate of assaults on police than at any point in the last decade.

BIDEN LIE: Democrats "have a great record" on crime.

 

"DEFUND THE POLICE" Democrats like Crooked Joe don't care about public safety. Major Democrat-run cities across the country have seen dramatic crime spikes between President Trump's final year in office and the end of 2023.

  • Washington, D.C., has seen a 38% increase in homicides, a 74% increase in robberies, and a 166% increase in carjackings.
  • New York City has seen a 75% increase in carjackings and a 42% increase in grand larcenies.
  • Atlanta has seen a 66% increase in carjackings and a 16% increase in aggravated assaults.
  • Chicago has seen a 40% increase in robberies, a 24% increase in assaults, and a 155% increase in stalking cases.
  • Philadelphia has seen a 135% increase in retail theft and a 152% increase in carjackings.

Crooked Joe Biden's record is indefensible — so all he can do is LIE, and that's exactly what he is going to do tonight.
