In the ABC Presidential debate, David Muir attempted to hand deliver the victory to Kamala Harris.
He thought that his mission was a success and that he had accomplished his goal.
But ABC News’ David Muir was just caught red-handed when this massive coverup went off the rails.
The fake news fact-checking of Donald Trump on crime
ABC News has been ridiculed repeatedly since hosting a Presidential debate in September due to the moderators working over time to steal the show with endless and questionable “fact-checks.”
And moderator David Muir made sure to focus all of his false fact-checking against Donald Trump to try and damage his image.
One phony fact-check came when Donald Trump correctly noted that crime is trending up under the Biden-Harris administration.
“All over the world, crime is down, all over the world, except here,” Trump started. “Crime here is up and through the roof, despite their fraudulent statements that they made.”
“Crime in this country is through the roof, and we have a new form of crime,” he added. “It’s called migrant crime, and it’s happening at levels that nobody thought possible.”
Muir rushed to Kamala’s defense by throwing one of the most wild “fact-checks” onto the stage to make it seem like Trump was lying.
“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says, overall, violent crime is actually coming down in this country,” Muir interjected.
“Excuse me, the FBI – they were defrauding statements,” Trump shot back. “They didn’t include the worst cities. They didn’t include the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud.”
Crime has gone up significantly in the United States, and the FBI has been caught red-handed manipulating the statistics to boost the image of the Biden-Harris administration.
Congressional Republican opens investigation into FBI crime statistics
The FBI, which has become growingly politicized, is attempting to make the claim that violent crime in the U.S. has dropped 3% this year, but House Republicans are raising a red flag to that claim.
Representative Lance Gooden (R-TX) is demanding that the FBI answer questions about how they put together their 2023 crime report, and the method by which data was collected.
In a letter written to the FBI, Gooden tore into them for their false claim, and directly accused the bureau of trying to intentionally mislead the public.
“Underreporting or misreporting crime statistics significantly impacts public perception and policy decisions, leading to a misunderstanding of crime trends, which causes unwarranted fear or complacency,” wrote Gooden in the letter.
“Cherry-picking statistical data to deliberately mislead the public into thinking their community is safer than before would be an abhorrent act of ‘misinformation,’ especially considering the source of the misguided claim is an elite federal law enforcement agency,” the Congressman continued.
Gooden’s biggest concern was whether or not the FBI had excluded any cities from its crime report in order to engineer better looking statistics.
He pointed out that in 2022 – as Trump had correctly noted on the debate stage – that around 6,000 police departments across the country had not reported crime statistics to the FBI.
The FBI, after being caught, went back to collect the data for 2022, which predictably showed an increase in crime.
But it was all designed so that Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden could go around claiming that crime is at a 50-year low, which is clearly false.
The data that Biden and Harris are citing now, as it turns out, excludes crime data from roughly 28% of police departments in the United States – more than 1 in 4.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics ultimately released their annual National Crime Victimization Survey, which contradicted the FBI claims by showing that violent crime actually increased 36% in just two years from 2021 to 2023.
“If key data about the actual criminal activity in our cities is missing, it has not been reflected in either your claim or the accompanying press release,” Gooden argued. “A selective and deliberate omission of relevant and necessary context amounts to an inexcusable case of spreading ‘misinformation’ by an agency of the Federal government.”
The FBI was caught cooking the books to help Kamala Harris win the election, and David Muir helped purport the lie.
