President Donald Trump was caught lying about Washington D.C. crime statistics in real time as he announced the federal take over of the city by the National Guard, noted MSNBC.
MSNBC’s Ken. Dilanian debunked the 34-time felon president before the announcement:
Yeah, that is totally false on it. You can Google this. Actually, there are lots of different ways to measure the most dangerous cities in the United States, but if you just look at per capita violent crime, the amounts of violence, the numbers of violent crime based on a percentage of the population, D.C. is not even in the top 25 __ it’s not even close.
And a lot of it’s generally smaller and medium-sized cities that are the most dangerous. Now, look, some neighborhoods in D.C. If you stack them up as a city next to Memphis or some of these other very dangerous cities, the crime rates there are higher than in other parts. But generally, D.C. and other major American cities are not the most dangerous cities.”
