Bill De Blasio Falsely Claims He ‘Lowered Crime’ in NYC

Breitbart:

During CNN’s 2020 Democrat presidential primary debate, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed he “lowered crime” in the city, though not all crime has been reduced.

De Blasio, who took over as mayor in 2014, claimed New York City crime has been reduced under his watch, saying:

We can make change in this country. I know from personal experience it can be done. When I became the mayor of the nation’s largest city, I set us on a path of bold change … we got rid of stop-and-frisk and we lowered crime … yes, it can be done. [Emphasis added]

New York City crime data, though, paints a different picture of crime in the city. more here
