Homicides Are Skyrocketing in American Cities Under Kamala Harris
August 12, 2024
The Fake News is covering for Kamala. They won't demand she sit for an interview or do a press conference. That's no accident. They know she's not smart enough to do a press conference. They will just carry her water instead.
Today, Axios published a ridiculous story claiming that violent crime is falling under Kamala Harris. It's a lie.
It may be true that in *some* cities, some categories of violent crime are lower for the first 6 months of 2024 than in 2023 — but violent crime is still WAY UP compared to 2019 under President Trump.
Axios can cherrypick all the crime data they like, but it won't change what Americans know: our communities are more dangerous under Kamala Harris.
The story cites data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
When you compare data from the report Axios profiled to the MCCA's 2019 report, it paints an entirely different picture — a picture the liberal media refuses to show because they are all-in for Kamala: Cities in battleground states were safer under President Trump.
The following data compares January 1 to June 30, 2019 (under Trump) to the same period in 2024 (under Harris) using data from the MCCA Midyear Violent Crime Survey:
Atlanta, Georgia
Murders: +34%
Aggravated Assault: +20%
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina
Murders: +17%
Aggravated Assault: +21%
Las Vegas, Nevada
Murders: +51%
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
Murders: +28%
Rape: +33%
Aggravated Assault: +3%
Big cities in battleground states aren't special. Dozens of American cities have seen *more murders* in the first 6 months of 2024 than in the same period in 2019.
Albuquerque, NM: +24%
Aurora, CO: +38%
Austin, TX: +139%
Buffalo, NY: +11%
Chicago, IL: +10%
Cleveland, OH: +25%
Denver, CO: +35%
El Paso, TX: +10%
Fairfax County, VA: +50%
Honolulu, HI: +200%
Houston, TX: +7%
Kansas City, MO: +12%
Long Beach, CA: +36%
Los Angeles, CA: +17%
Memphis, TN: +55%
Minneapolis, MN: +106%
Nashville, TN: +44%
Oakland, CA: +27%
Raleigh, NC: +14%
Seattle, WA: +125%
Washington, D.C: +21%
President Trump will MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
