New from me & @nickpwing: The Republicans spent the last year+ trying to link Democrats to a wildly exaggerated "crime wave"—per exit polling, it was not an issue most voters actually cared about & strongly suggests police-reform is still a winning message https://t.co/FZaSWozqWz

This is outrageous and yet not at all surprising. The yellow is the “actual rise” in violent crime in NYC. The purple is coverage of it. This doesn’t even count the $50 million GOP spent on ads lying to people about crime to influence their vote. pic.twitter.com/0ACgJ01RvN
