Republicans have been saying the opposite on reality forever
Not just a “Republicans” problem. NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Chicago ex-Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Houston Mayor John Whitmire are also in on the “Ahh! Crime Wave!” racket.
Sinclair Media and Clear Channel Communications have made a deluge of “minorities doing crimes” stories central to their homogenization of local media coverage. Cable news channels (FOX most notably, but CNN and MSNBC aren’t afraid to pile on) love the Missing White Girl saga. My hometown paper Houston Chronicle and local news channels love to talk about sex workers in the most lurid style and to cover human trafficking as an endless spectacle.
Its everywhere. It’s suffocating.
It helps if you conflate police crackdowns on campus protests and state persecution of transgender residents as signs of “rising crime”. I’m sure by November we’ll get another “Migrant Caravan!!!” crisis on the border. That will signal yet another Crime Wave of black-market farm laborers looking to escape the narco-gangs shipping us more nose candy to arms dealers on the Texas border.
