Federal data shows the national crime rate has dropped under President Biden
Donald Trump backed out of an interview after a local paper asked him for data to back up his continued baseless claims that crime is on the rise under President Joe Biden.
The Detroit News reported that Trump’s campaign had agreed to an interview with the former president on Tuesday after a campaign speech. However, the campaign suddenly claimed Trump no longer had time for the interview after a reporter began probing them on crime data.
“The Trump campaign had initially agreed that Trump would participate in an interview with The Detroit News on Tuesday,” state politics reporter Craig Mauger wrote. “But after the newspaper began asking about the Michigan crime data before the event, a campaign aide said the presidential candidate no longer had time for an interview after the speech.”
Pulling out of a scheduled interview as part of a presidential campaign because the interviewer wants you to back up your claim sure is a weird thing to do.
i can’t recall a single claim he’s ever made that he “backed up” with anything other than “everybody says so” or something similar
Oh he couldn’t possibly back up his lies. But I love that he’s so terrified of the press asking him to do it that he’s running away from them.
I can think of one, around COVID, when his “data” evoked this response
He had sharpy on a map to back up a claim once.
Yet another crime to throw on the pile.
It’s illegal to misrepresent emergency weather information.
Drawing a sharpie to make people who were not in the forecasted path of a hurricane panic and seek shelter/evacuate should be a minimum fine/90 days in jail.
Obviously neither happened.
I’ve seen police show and threaten arrest up over someone using the emergency broadcast tones too loud at a park on a nice day. But (at the time) commander-in-queef gets free passes to do illegal shit at least once a week.
Totally the same legal system for ruling(owning)/non ruling(the poors) classes.
yea, because it’s the people who make their entire living being experts on the weather who are wrong, not this blubbering moron who refuses to let his school transcripts be made public
Aren’t the questions usually arranged beforehand? You think that one would prepare in advance.
It was easier to cancel the interview than to provide a source for his claim.
