Yep,, He just keeps hammering the top,, err, bottom, twenty places, saying ALL of them are democrat run,,
Uhh, NO,, Time to Call him on it!
This is not the dunk that they think it is
From the Washington Post:
Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t.
Over and over, Trump has shared that terse phrase with his tens of millions of Twitter followers, including on Wednesday and Thursday. And over and over, he has tried to imply that Democrats broadly and former vice president Joe Biden specifically are soft on crime. That his likely general election opponent and other leaders in the Democratic Party are happy to have social structures collapse into anarchy for some unclear reason.
To make that case, Trump has repeatedly lifted up a statistical factoid, as he did during an event at the White House on Wednesday.
“You hear about certain places like Chicago and you hear about what’s going on in Detroit and other — other cities, all Democrat run,” he said. “Every one of them is Democrat run. Twenty out of 20. The 20 worst, the 20 most dangerous are Democrat run.”
This is factually incorrect and the Washington Post is going to hammer Trump because of it.
What is the information they are going to use?
https://gunfreezone.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mayor-crime.png Oh, 17 out of the 20 are and the top 10 absolute most violent are Democrat-run.
Let’s dig deeper. The mayor of Las Vegas is Carolyn Goodman, the wife of the former mayor Oscar Goodman. They are independents but were registered Democrats until 2009. Oscar Goodman was the Democrat mayor of Las Vegas for the first 10 years of his three terms in office.
The mayor of San Antonio is Ron Nirenberg, and while he is registered as an independent, he is a Progressive. He’s so Progressive that he is not a Democrat because he is Left of the Democrats (if that is even possible at this point).
The one I have no history for is Springfield Mayor, Ken McClure.
So while only 17 out of the 20 are Democrats, 19 out of the 20 are either Democrats, former Democrats, or Leftist/Progressives.
Jacksonville seems to be the odd one out.
When it comes to per-capita violence, the Republican drops off, and 19 of the 20 are Democrat.
For the Washington Post, Trump is completely wrong because only 95% of our most violent cities are Democrat-run instead of 100%.
From a statistical standpoint, it is possible to reject the null hypothesis with more than a 95% confidence interval, but it’s dodgy.
If there was ever a time for this GIF, it’s now.
