Trump Was Right

During last month’s presidential debate, Donald Trump said crime under the Biden/Harris administration was up. He was immediately “fact-checked” by moderator David Muir, who said, “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”

They’re not saying that anymore.

Without any announcement at all, the FBI released new data showing that crime was up 4.5% in 2022, not down by 2.1% as reported. They missed more than 80,000 violent crimes, including nearly 1,700 murders, 7,800 rapes, and 37,000 aggravated assaults. 

Donald Trump was right, and David Muir owes him an apology!

Nobody could make sense of what the FBI was reporting. During the debate, Trump noted that the FBI’s figures were inaccurate because many cities are not reporting their crime statistics. Americans overwhelmingly said crime was rising. They were seeing it their own communities.

Once again, the Biden administration was telling us to believe the bureaucrats and not our own eyes. Now we have the biggest revision in history with zero explanation for why.

Professor Carl Moody has extensively studied crime in the United States. He was shocked by the FBI’s bizarre revision. He said:

“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022. There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”

Welcome to the party, professor!

From the Russia collusion hoax to censoring the truth and spying on parents and churches, many Americans find it difficult to trust the FBI.
