So much for Republican crime hysteria about crime in cities.
States with highest murder rates per 100k (in order): Louisiana 15.8, Missouri 11.8, Mississippi 10.6, Arkansas 10.6, South Carolina 10.5, Alabama 9.6, Tennessee 9.6, Illinois 9.1. Data really shatters Republican/Mainstream Media narrative about nature of our crime problem.

My brother who lives in Omaha did not want to go to NYC because of "how bad crime has gotten." Instead, he wants to go to Nashville. Umm…. Just shows how the media's focus on large cities can mislead average Americans pic.twitter.com/Dh6dL2FCYj

"The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions." https://t.co/yCxI0H42pg @ThirdWayTweet

Murder rates are highest in conservative states (mostly in the south) not in coastal lib ones.https://t.co/Jci9JireRs
