The Washington Post tried to push back on President Donald Trump’s claim that the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats – but the graph provided largely proved Trump’s point.
Trump said Wednesday that “every one” of America’s “20 most dangerous” cities “are Democrat run.” WaPo’s analysis headline wrote that “Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t.”
The article, however, did not provide a single city run by a Republican in the top 20 most violent cities per capita. According to data WaPo gathered to disprove Trump, 19 of the 20 cities with the most violent crime per 10,000 residents are run by Democrats. The lone city on the per capita list not run by a Democrat is run by an Independent.
“Most of the current mayors of these cities are Democrats,” WaPo admitted. “Two of the mayors of cities with the most reported violent crimes overall, though, are independents and one, the mayor of Jacksonville, Fla., is a Republican. Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn’t a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.”
WaPo’s article continued on to try and explain why most of the violent cities are run by Democrats – after trying to prove that they aren’t.

Whole lot’o’blue in those graphs
Guess Pres. Trump was right
Democrat “leadership” = crime-ridden disasters
This one truly deserves the Godzilla facepalm.
The fail is THAT epic.
WTG, Bezos!
The most pathetic part about this is, if the leftists really cared about “people of color”, they would be calling out the democrats for this instead of trying to cover for them.
Looks like the copy editor inserted the requisite anti-Trump headline without bothering to check the graphic.
19 of the top 20 were Dems and the 20th was an Independent.
LOL. Their hatred of Trump makes them do idiotic things. They help us when they lose all sense of balance and perspective, as they regularly do.
Remove NAS JAX and NAS Mayport and JAX is D.
“Westside!”
“The fail is THAT epic.”
It’s not, they’re feeding propaganda to their readers who only read headlines.

I can state unequivocably that the mayor of San Antonio is a liberal. He was endorsed by the Texas democrat party. He was born in Boston....
All that matters is the headline. They know that most people are not going to look at the article carefully.
Liberalism is a Mental Disease!
SF Mayor.
Seattle Chief of Police.
Washington D.C. Mayor.
Mayor of Chicago.
The democrats have the power of deeming, so it is not true.
the mayor of Chi town looks like Beetlejuice!
Now that’s just mean... /chortle
