Biden’s False Crime Stats: A Masterclass in Cherry-Picking Data
Biden has claimed that during the Trump Administration, “America saw the largest increase in murders ever recorded,” while “Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been a significant decrease in crime — including one of the largest yearly declines in homicides ever.”
Respondents noted that Biden completely ignored a huge spike in violent crime in large, mostly Democrat run, cities.
Biden says last year the U.S. had “one of the lowest rates of all violent crimes in more than 50 years.”

Biden made the comments while touting a fact sheet on what he’s done to “fight crime.”
The gaslighting from Biden on this, whose Vice President fundraised for violent rioters, rapists and murderers, is another level. 2020 violence was organized and endorsed by defund the police, pro-BLM Democrats. pic.twitter.com/dL10rMpSZH

Others noted that the drop in overall crime can be attributed to a massive reduction in reporting of crime stats and simply making things that were previously criminal no longer crimes.
Pretty easy to do when the largest, most violent cities don’t report their stats. pic.twitter.com/w1iWf54M5r

When you stop charging for crime you reduce crime https://t.co/vStmJMtqvz pic.twitter.com/lW8otZ87ud

Meanwhile, when you glance at the news…

It’s not hard to see a drop in crime when you declare nothing is a crime.

Just because liberal cities don’t even bother arresting these people anymore

lol what? You mean they stopped reporting it and no longer prosecute. This is a very dangerous claim… but I’m sure you already know that.

If you don’t charge the crime I suppose your illegitimate statistics make sense ! No charges no crime right?
10 million illegals crossed illegally, that’s ten million crime charges right there!

Your crime statistics are wrong. Just like your employment statistics every time you release them. You always have to redact them!
Tell the People who got the MOST JOBS: Illegals!

It’s easy to reduce crime when you rename it “mostly peaceful protest.”

Arrest and conviction numbers do go down when you don’t arrest and convict. That is true.

Even if your statement was true, which it’s not, it would have nothing to do with any policy of the Biden administration. In fact, it would be in spite of it.

Admittedly I’m not schooled on the subject, but if a criminal isn’t arrested or prosecuted is it not considered a crime? Therefore crime has reduced 🤷🏼♂️
