Correct. The WaPo would have done better with a top ten, or top 5, list. I don’t know what is up with Springfield, Mo.
Still, no matter how you slice it, President Trump was basically right and the WaPo is trying to mislead those people who are foolish enough to read and heed the WaPo.
The moron uses that to disprove Trump’s point??
That’s like touching a hot stove to disprove that it’s hot.
The graphic (as understated as it is)... should be accompanied by another which shows the party with the majority on the city board / elected officials.
It seems more likely to do with the percentage of black and brown people.
It’s called “FACT CHECKING” same as “CHECKING A SWING” in baseball, the facts must be interrupted before they hit a home run or get called fowl
By the Washing Post’s own numbers, Trump is 96 percent correct.
However the preliminary six-month 2019 crime report has a caution: Caution against ranking. A small city, such as Springfield, MO, could see its crime rate rise dramatically due to one-off incidents. You really should like at cities of 500,000 or more, and at a full year’s data, and maybe this is what Trump did.
And the reason Jacksonville FL is included in the list is that the current REPUBLICAN mayor Lenny Curry succeeded a corrupt DEMOCRAT mayor Alvin Brown.
Sorry WAPO, nice try but before you full TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME you might want to do some research.
Alvin Brown
Former Mayor of Jacksonville
Alvin Brown is an American politician from Florida. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida from 2011 to 2015. He was the first African American to be elected to that position
They must hope readers don’t consume the article and question their nonsensical propaganda.
“””They must hope readers don’t consume the article and question their nonsensical propaganda.”””
WAPO doesn’t hope, they know their subscribers don’t question anything written.
This is one of those articles that the paper hopes that people don’t read and only pay attention to the headline.
Otherwise they look extremely stupid.
They are also sanctuary cities.
Technically, Knoxville TN’s mayor is “independent,” but she’s a Democrat - a number of cities elect mayors on an officially non-partisan ballot.
San Antonio and Las Vegas vote Democrat for other offices, including President, so I suspect it’s that way too.
Trump carried Greene and Christian Counties - not sure about the city of Springfield though.
Wonder which of these cities have brutal police < /sarc >
The worst cities are all democrat. Trump is right. It’s about where you draw the line. If you go for 10 cities, they’re all democrat. 20, two independent and one Republican. Doesn’t the post realize that they’re actually supporting what Trump said?
But Stalin wanted to get rid of Tito, didn’t he? He then found out that it wouldn’t be easy and dropped the plan.
LOL, Stalin wanted to get rid of EVERYBODY.
Here’s the twit’s Twitter:

Also, see if you can get twiiter, facebook, google, etc., to put a fake news warning on that story.
Not really, it has to do with buying into the democrat/socialist/communist ideology of being entitled to something and feeling justified in using any means to get it.
We saw that historically with the confederacy's entitlement to slave labor, and with the kkk's entitlement to special privileges for whites. Both felt justified in using violence to get and keep what they thought they were entitled to.
We've also seen this with the slaughter of millions as a result of socialism and communism, again for the entitlement to something, in these cases of having a government that provides for you at the expense of everyone else.
Not to mention the millions of innocent babies who have been murdered before they were born for the entitlement of having free sex without accepting responsibility for the consequences.
What's going in in predominantly black and brown cities is only the latest, but not only, manifestation of this.
Things went downhill since the monorail bo9ndoggle...
