So you're telling me the lie he told is a lie? I'm shocked.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

No.

They are very specifically, very spinelessly not telling you the lie he told is a lie.

Isn’t that right, nbcnews.

Can’t call a liar a liar, or a rapist a rapist, or a failed coup-plotter a traitor, or a fraud a fraud. Can you, nbcnews. Noooooo. No, not unless they’re, y’know, black or something.

Nothing Trump says is supported by data.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter. His word is law to his supporters and congressional Republicans.

Where is that Guatemalan migrant caravan that was supposed to show up and "tek er jerbs" around the last election time?

[-] TrivialAntics@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

It'll be back, we just need to get closer to November. That's when they need it in the news most.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Ok but is anything that Trump ever claims really supported by data?

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Is anything he says supprted by anything?

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago

Supported by his voters

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Trump's claims ~~of a migrant crime wave~~ are not supported ~~by national data~~

[-] mySFWaccount@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

Thank you. I came looking for this exact comment.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON — When Donald Trump speaks at the southern border in Texas on Thursday, you can expect to hear him talk about “migrant crime,” a category he has coined and defined as a terrifying binge of criminal activity committed by undocumented immigrants spreading across the country.

But despite the former president’s campaign rhetoric, expert analysis and available data from major-city police departments show that despite several horrifying high-profile incidents, there is no evidence of a migrant-driven crime wave in the United States.

Ousey notes the emotional toll these incidents have taken and how they can inform public perception, saying, “They can be really egregious acts of criminality that really draw lots of attention that involve somebody who happens to be an immigrant.

“Democrat cities purposefully do not document when crimes are committed by illegal immigrants, because they don’t want American citizens to know the truth about the dangerous impact Joe Biden’s open border is having on their communities,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign press secretary, said in a statement.

The data is incomplete on how many crimes each year are committed by migrants, primarily because most local police don’t record immigration status when they make arrests.

But the studies that have been done on this, most recently by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, show that in Texas, where police do record immigration status, migrants commit fewer crimes per capita.
