    The Facts

    • On Sun., a 12 am shooting at an Airbnb house party in Pittsburgh left 2 minors dead and at least 8 injured.

    • ~90 rounds may have been fired by multiple shooters during the incident, with the ensuing chaos resulting in as many as 8 separate crime scenes.


    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    Woke progressive policies in Democrat-led cities are to blame for this eruption of violence across America. It's time to support law and order, keep repeat offenders off the streets, and remember that the "victims" are the public; not the criminals.

    Democratic narrative

    The right's correlation of rising crime to Democrat-run cities is flawed and tiresome. Murder and mayhem isn't just an urban, blue-state phenomenon, but Republicans spin these incidents for political gain. In fact, 8 of the 10 states with the highest homicide rates in 2020 voted for Trump.
