The Crime Lie: Why Democrats Blame Red States While Their Cities Suffer

The Tara Show

This segment debunks the narrative that President Trump is unfairly targeting Democratic cities for their high crime rates. It features audio from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who blame red states and their gun laws for the violence in their cities. The host systematically refutes this claim by presenting statistics on the political affiliation of mayors in the 35 deadliest cities in America. The analysis shows that the vast majority of these cities are led by Democrats, and the host argues that the root cause of the crime is a "permissive" approach to law enforcement, not gun policy. The discussion suggests that the real motive for Trump's actions is to dismantle criminal networks, including cartels and violent gangs, that are taking root in these "blue territories."
