Kamala Harris and her campaign have an X (Twitter) account -- KamalaHQ -- that routinely pushes campaign spin and downright lies.
KamalaHQLies is an account designed solely to debunk those lies, and here they take the lie that crime is down apart:

THE CLAIM: Kamala HQ claims FBI data shows a “clear drop” in violent crime under Biden.
THE TRUTH: Crime is so bad in American cities that they have just stopped reporting crime all together.
Here are the facts:
The FBI reports that roughly 21% of law enforcement agencies reported crime last year.
In 2022, one-third of law enforcement agencies did not report their crime data.
Here are some of the cities that failed to report crime data during the Kamala/Biden admin:
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Chicago
Here’s some more information on crime in America:
- In 2023 D.C. had the highest number of hom*cides since 1997.
- Across 32 cities, carjacking has increased 33.5% in the first half of 2023
- Businesses lost $122 billion to retail theft in 2023, $20B more than in 2022.

This is how the Left deals with crime: don't report it.
If we don't know it happened, it officially didn't happen, see?
The exact opposite of new jobs created - the Democrats report them, but they never, ever happened.
But much like inflation -- the administration can spin and gaslight all they want. Americans buy groceries and we see the prices.
Many of us also live, work in, or know people who live and work in big cities where crime is a problem. Oh, and we have this thing called social media where people see videos of crime happening.
Just like inflation, crime is becoming rampant. Democrats desperately want to pretend this is not actually happening - because THEY are a direct cause of this increase (defund the police, no-bail policies, increasing thresholds for felonies, refusing to prosecute crimes, willfully allowing thousands and thousands of foreign criminals to cross our borders and remain in our country without vetting, etc.).
John Turner (@johnturner313) ~ I'll bet the cities that didn't report are Blue cities run by Democrat administrations and mayors. Funny how that works. 🤔
matt jordan (@matttjordan) ~ They left off the most violent places in America. Every statistic they give is based on lies.
Just like the jobs report the had to revise downward by almost a million.
Starting to notice a pattern here.
Yep. Democrats fudge their statistics in order to try to gaslight the American public.
Joni Myers (@JoniMyers18 ) ~ The lies keep stacking up.
They really do think we're stupid.
The sad part is, some people will believe this.
Well, yeah ... zzshart believes this bullsh!t ... but, yeah ... he's really, REALLY stupid.
