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.
