States with the highest crime rates

Crime is a larger problem in GOP-led areas than Democratic-led ones

“If the president is sincere about the issue of crime and violence, there’s no question in my mind that he’ll likely be sending the troops into Louisiana and Mississippi," said California governor Gavin Newsom. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) went after President Donald Trump for the “blatant hypocrisy” of surging National Guard troops and federal law enforcement agents to Democratic-led cities when, he says, there are higher crime rates in some Republican-run places. - Washington Post

Trump's blatant hypocrisy

Newsom held up fliers that displayed Republican elected officials — including House Speaker Mike Johnson (Louisiana), Sen. Josh Hawley (Missouri), Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves — along with crime statistics for their states.

“Look at the murder rate that’s nearly four times higher than California’s — in Louisiana,” Newsom said, holding up the flier with Johnson’s face. “I want to present some facts to the president of the United States, and I imagine this is alarming to the president to learn these facts, particularly to Speaker Johnson, who has been such a strong partner and ally in these efforts. The carnage in Louisiana is well defined.” - Washington Post
