(TruthAndLiberty.com) – John Walsh, recognized for his work on “America’s Most Wanted,” recently expressed skepticism regarding President Biden’s portrayal of the current state of violent crime in the United States. Speaking on “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade,” Walsh challenged the notion suggested by Biden that violent crime is predominantly on the decline across the nation, suggesting that the President’s assessment might be overly selective and not fully representative of the broader situation.
According to Walsh, the instances where crime rates have slightly decreased in certain cities do not necessarily reflect a national trend, especially considering that some of these cities experienced significant surges in crime rates previously. He argues that a minor decrease in crime in these areas doesn’t necessarily indicate an overall improvement in national crime rates.
Walsh’s argument is that while some officials, including mayors of major cities, support the idea of decreasing crime rates, the reality on the ground, as seen in cities like Chicago and Portland, tells a different story. Chicago continues to grapple with high crime rates, while Portland has faced challenges related to the “Defund the Police” movement that gained momentum after the 2020 George Floyd protests.
Walsh also voiced concerns about the safety of children and the impact of rising crime rates on communities, noting the departure of businesses from cities like San Francisco due to safety concerns. Additionally, he highlighted the ongoing drug crisis, particularly the prevalence of fentanyl, as a significant issue that necessitates more robust border control measures to mitigate the influx of drugs into the country.
Overall, Walsh’s comments underscore a complex picture of crime in America, one that challenges simplified narratives and calls for a more nuanced understanding of the issue.
