During the ABC News presidential debate last week, former President Donald Trump commented that crime statistics were drastically rising during the Biden Harris administration. ABC host David Muir responded negatively to Trump’s statement and Muir has egg on his face journalistically. 

“As you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country,” Muir shot back at Trump during the debate. 

Muir was inaccurate and Trump was correct.

The Justice Department released new crime statistics Thursday - just two days after the debate. With those numbers, the Trump campaign slammed Muir in a stinging statement. 

The Trump campaign highlighted the figures from DOJ's "National Crime Victimization Survey," which found that violent crime was up 37% from 2020 to 2023, rape is up 42%, robbery rose 63%, and stranger violence hit a 61% increase.

"More evidence released today proves David Muir, Kamala Harris, and the mainstream media are WRONG about their false claim that violent crime has not risen under the Harris-Biden Administration."

"If Kamala is given another four years and the chance to implement her weak-on-crime, defund the police, no cash bail policies, America will continue to turn into a crime-ridden hellhole for illegal immigrants, Venezuelan gangsters, and drug dealers," Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt wrote in a campaign press release. 

"Only President Trump will restore law and order, protect our police, secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. If you want to be safe, VOTE TRUMP," she added.
