The latest crime statistics released by the Justice Department have stirred up quite the ruckus, especially for the Biden-Harris administration, which seems to be caught in a crime wave that rivals the most raucous 1980s action films. As former President Donald Trump pointed out during the recent presidential debate, crime rates—and not just your garden-variety petty theft—are skyrocketing, thanks in large part to the loose immigration policies that have turned the United States into an open invitation for those with less-than-honorable intentions.
In the classic style of liberal media, David Muir from ABC decided to play the role of the fact-checker-in-chief, claiming that the FBI asserts overall violent crime is on the decline. While this may sound comforting to some, it’s hard to ignore the glaring contradiction presented by the actual numbers from the DOJ. The Justice Department’s “National Crime Victimization Survey” tells a different story, one where violent crime has jumped by a staggering 37% between 2020 and 2023, with rapes, robberies, and stranger violence also on the rise. Quite the comforting bedtime story for the nation.

Not one to take these accusations lying down, Trump’s campaign took a flamethrower to Muir’s claims, underscoring the facts and figures that show just how dangerous things have gotten under the current administration. According to the survey, rapes are up 42%, robberies have increased by 63%, and stranger violence is soaring at 61%. It seems that the only thing going down these days is confidence in the Biden-Harris duo’s ability to keep American streets safe.
Trump’s campaign spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, wasted no time in pointing out the dire consequences of allowing Kamala Harris any more time in office. She warned that with another four years of weak-on-crime policies, America could very well morph into a sanctuary not just for law-abiding citizens but for illegal immigrants, Venezuelan gangsters, and a veritable buffet of criminal enterprises. Her sentiments reflect a growing frustration among conservatives who see lawlessness as a direct result of liberal leniency.
In stark contrast to the chaos and fear underpinning the statistics, Trump offers a straightforward solution: law and order. The path to a safe America lies with Trump, where law enforcement is respected, borders are secured, and criminals face justice. If voters want to reclaim their streets and silence the thugs roaming freely under Biden-Harris rule, a vote for Trump might just be the most sensible direction forward. While elitists like Muir can spin narratives all they want, reality has a funny way of shattering their carefully constructed illusions.
