Dems’ Violent Crime Wave

We’re starting to get a clear picture of just how much damage Democrats’ pro-crime, Defund the Police movement caused last year.

The Wall Street Journal reports “[t]he number of homicides in the U.S. rose nearly 30% in 2020 from the prior year to 21,570, the largest single-year increase ever recorded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

Axios reports, “[t]he estimated rate of violent crime — such as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — was 387.8 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, a 5.6% increase from 2019’s rate.”

NRCC Comment: “Democrats across the country defunded the police and caused a massive spike in violent crime. Unfortunately, Democrats in Congress still support this radical policy.”  – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
