Robert Hubbell - A lie that MAGA extremists frequently repeat is that violent crime has skyrocketed during Joe Biden’s presidency. That is false. In fact, violent crime has decreased significantly over the last two years. Per The Atlantic, in the sample of 175 cities, murder is down by an average of almost 13 percent this year. And it’s not just murder. FBI data for the third quarter show that every category of crime [except auto theft] is down, some of them sharply, year over year from 2022. The quarterly data in particular suggests 2023 featured one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the United States in more than 50 years.
