Report: Murder Rate is Higher in Blue Counties than in Red Ones

Anew report from a conservative think tank reveals that the rate of homicides have consistently been higher in Democrat-run counties than Republican-run ones since 2002.

According to Fox News, the report from the Heritage Foundation directly contradicts an unproven claim that has been repeated by many Democrats claiming that the opposite is true. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) recently said that “8 of the top 10 murder states are red,” while far-left billionaire George Soros similarly and falsely claimed that “murder rates have been rising fastest in some Republican states led by tough-on-crime politicians.”

But in the new Heritage report, authored by Kevin Dayaratna and Alexander Gage, debunks this claim by pointing out that the studies which made this assertion – including a study by the left-wing think tank Third Way – simply look at crime on a state-by-state basis rather than on a local level.
