The latest “incredible” revision under the Biden-Harris administration absolutely vindicates the former president on a troubling FBI trend revealing “TRUMP WAS RIGHT.”
Month after month, the American public has faced gaslighting about jobs reports that were later revised and cooling inflation somehow being akin to costs coming down. Now, after corporate media helped spin the notion that Vice President Kamala Harris was somehow a law and order leader, a dramatic revision to FBI crime data shows how public sentiment and former President Donald Trump were right that crime has increased under the current administration.
“After Democrats and journalists have spent the entire election cycle claiming that crime is down,” wrote Greg Price on X, sharing a graph from the Crime Prevention Research Center, “the FBI three weeks before an election revises their crime statistics showing that crime increased by 4.5% in 2022 instead of dropping 2.1%. Incredible.”

According to the data when compared to the first year of the Biden-Harris administration in 2021, there have been over 80,000 more violent crimes in 2022 including 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, 37,091 aggravated assaults, and 1,699 murders. This data calls into question the figures from 2023 which claim there was a 3.5% drop prior to the revision which shaved the purported decrease to 1.6%.
During Trump’s one and only debate with Harris, which also pitted the president against ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, the GOP leader faced pushback when he noted, “Crime is down all over the world except here. Crime here is up and through the roof, despite their fraudulent statements that they made. Crime in this country is through the roof, and we have a new form of crime — it’s called migrant crime. And it’s happening at levels that nobody thought possible.”
Muir interjected, despite a reported agreement not to “fact-check,” that “as you know, the FBI says, overall, violent crime is actually coming down in this country.”
“Excuse me,” the president fired back, “they were defrauding statements. They didn’t include the worst cities.”
His campaign shared that clip from the debate as the reported “stealth-edit,” exposed via RealClearInvestigations, began to circulate with the caption, “PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.”

To Trump’s point, it had been covered previously that when the Biden-Harris administration had begun, a transition from the Summary Reporting System to the voluntary National Incident-Based Reporting System resulted in no crime estimates reported for 2021 because of a lack of “agency participation.”
As of the end of 2023, only 83 percent of all law enforcement agencies had submitted data for the Uniform Crime Reporting program and discrepancies were readily apparent. For example, in Baltimore where the FBI had accounted for 225 murders that year, the city listed 262.
Meanwhile, leftists continued to run with the inaccurate data from the FBI, peddling the “disinformation” that they so routinely project concerns about.
“Some here doubt/deny the FBI data showing crime is down,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said, for example, two weeks after the debate. “A lot of that is just politics. But if you’re sincerely uncertain or skeptical, then you’ll want to know if the FBI data is corroborated by other, apples-to-apples law enforcement studies. The answer is yes.”

College of William & Mary professor Carl Moody told RCI, “I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022. There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 20202, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”
Drawing another stark comparison, the FBI data was measured against the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2023 National Crime Victimization Survey which relied on the interviews of 240,000 people per year to determine that in 2023, crime had increased by 4.1% after already skyrocketing by nearly 30% in 2022.
Social media users were sure to help spread the word that, once again, Trump was right.
He’s always right

Everything about our current ‘government’ is a lie.

A 6.6% correction. You can not trust any data from the 2021 to 2024 period. It’s all screwed to favor the current administration. The fact that this data from 2 years ago is corrected after voting has begun should be blatant election interference.

The Biden/Harris Administration cooks the books with jobs numbers and now they are doing the same with crime statistics.
