Nonprofits measuring crime say it&rsquo;s higher today than it was before Trump left office. The cute game Democrats and David Muir are trying to play is distinguishing &ldquo;violent crime&rdquo; from <em>crime<\/em> crime. Violent crime is murder and assault. <em>Crime<\/em> crime is robbery, carjacking, property destruction, and theft. Kamala, with the help of Muir, wants voters to ignore their stolen car and just be grateful they weren&rsquo;t raped.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the moderators lied on behalf of Kamala, who performed poorly. Kamala is leading a failed administration on every front, and the debate hosted by ABC was an attempt to lie again so that she might be excused.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Kamala Harris received an unexpected advantage for her first (and possibly only) presidential debate, akin to being lifted by John Fetterman. The moderation by ABC&#8217;s David Muir and Linsey Davis was so questionable that it warrants immediate investigation by the Federal Election Commission for potential illegal interference. However, such an audit is unlikely due to predetermined outcomes, so let&#8217;s discuss a few points. <\/p>\n<p>While the debate wasn&#8217;t a decisive victory for either side, Kamala&#8217;s popularity is already waning as she has exhausted the media&#8217;s manufactured narratives of &#8220;vibes&#8221; and &#8220;joy.&#8221; Donald Trump didn&#8217;t need a knockout performance; he simply needed Harris to speak\u2014and she did. Much like in her recent CNN interview, she showcased her lack of understanding, vision, and interest in governance.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was misinformed\u2014falsely\u2014about states permitting late-term abortions (they do), about crime rates supposedly being \u201cdown\u201d (they&#8217;re not), and about concerns raised in Springfield, Ohio regarding Haitian migrants allegedly harming pets (a police report corroborated these worries shortly before the debate). <\/p>\n<p>One notable moment was when Trump pointed out that crime has increased under the Kamala-Biden administration; Muir countered him with claims from the FBI suggesting otherwise. This assertion is misleading. Nonprofits tracking crime statistics indicate that current levels are higher than they were before Trump&#8217;s presidency ended. The Democrats and Muir seem to be playing a clever game of differentiating between \u201cviolent crime\u201d and other types of crime\u2014where violent crimes include murder and assault while other crimes encompass robbery, carjacking, property damage, and theft. With Muir\u2019s assistance, Kamala appears to want voters to overlook their stolen vehicles while feeling relieved they weren\u2019t victims of violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the moderators misrepresented facts on behalf of Harris during what can be described as a lackluster performance from her side. She leads an administration struggling on multiple fronts; thus ABC\u2019s debate seemed like another attempt at deception aimed at absolving her shortcomings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2339610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kamala-Harris-David-Muir.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[32431,32337,40625,32438,32504],"class_list":["post-2339609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-2024-election","tag-debate-performance","tag-democratic-moderators","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-strategy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kamala-Harris-David-Muir.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
