Yep.
The next time you hear conservatives claim that Democrats are “soft on crime,” remember that per capita murder rates are 40% higher in states won by Trump than in those won by Joe Biden.

Now go to the cities in those states and see where the crime is, then you are back with Democrat control. Policing is local, not done at a state level. Nice try though.

But, that doesn’t change the fact. Democrats are soft on crime. They literally forbid their police forces from enforcing the most basic laws. And allow criminals to commit multiple offenses with practical impunity. Just look at the situation in D.C. Murdering protesters is legal.

How convenient that you have left out which cities in those states are run by Democrats.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes ... why? ... Is it because of their lax gun laws? ... or ... perhaps it's their refusal to Expand Medicaid to poor adults? ... or ... is it because they don't invest in Mass Transit so workers without a car can get to work? ... or perhaps it's simply ... all of the above!
