Trump lied about this in every speech and the NYT WaPo CNN and dozens of mainstream political pundits let him. Support the independent news outlets in @laminda.bsky.social's starter pack.

Politicians may claim there is an “immigrant crime wave,” but the data proves that is a myth.

Pretty sure a few years back everyone understood, or at least in the public consciousness it was acknowledged that the most crime was done by white males? Nothing but push back since then and racist narratives.

Trump is a lifelong con man, cheat, and serial liar. He does NOT act in the best interests of our country. He acts in the best interests of Trump. Always.

The media almost single-handedly elected Trump. I’ll never forgive them for what they’ve wrought on this world.

I was arguing this at Easter with fellow NYC-area liberals. The 6pm local news breathlessly leading with a crime story every night and emphasizing the migrant-involved ones were too entrenched in peoples' perceptions already.

That's why the pretentious BS that is "post-truth" annoys me so much. It's capitulating to third-rate conmen just because they got lucky.

Blaming the media will not help. Just admit that we chose to die on the wrong hill.
Fighting knee jerk issues like this is dangerous.
There is nothing wrong with securing the border.
They made us look bad on this.

Trumptards are not cumbersomed by truth.

And the next step is Trump will take credit for improving a problem that didn’t exist. The media let him drive a false narrative to claim a problem and they’ll let him claim a false narrative that he fixed the fake problem.
