Finally, a Democrat calls out a Republican on the truth about crime rates — violent crime rates are higher in Oklahoma than New York and Californa. This will be fact checked. #okgovdebate pic.twitter.com/lm0KTpgViT

Thank u for writing on our report @marcthiessen. A few facts you glossed over. Fact 1) in 2020, Trump-voting states had murder rates 40% > than Biden-voting states (11,521 murders/140,533,769 pop vs 10,946/189,418,128) https://t.co/a18fDzo8Tv 1/

Oklahoma has a higher murder rate than New York, presumably because of all the leftist governance the state has been subject to by Kevin Sitt and the state legislature. pic.twitter.com/KX3r3DgAh2

In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.

8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century. https://t.co/L5UoyywXwJ

I keep seeing arguments about claims that with all the GOP complaints abt crime it's really the red states that are driving the crime numbers. Well, this is actually a topic I've been studying for many years. And in fact most of what we now call "red states" have had …

Let's review:
-Dems are suddenly on the defensive over "crime"
-Crime isn't actually up
-It's coming from increased Fox coverage

Politics is shaped directly by media signals. Democrats are responding to those signals, Republicans are producing them. Who would you rather be? https://t.co/JLr1XEKB7P

About 5 million people (1.5% of US residents) are arrested & booked into jails each year. When over 11k were released from federal prisons to mitigate Covid spread, 17 committed new crimes. That’s a ~90% lower crime rate than among the general population.https://t.co/Lln7oms5uT

NATIONAL POLL: Inflation, crime, elections & voting, jobs, and immigration are the issues most Americans want the federal government to address.

It’s amazing how well the GOP’s messaging on crime has worked despite it flying in the face of the most easily accessible data ever pic.twitter.com/HvTx4ewGsi
