WAPO Tries to Show Trump Wrong, Swing and a Miss
ACTUAL Washington Post Headline:

Trump Keeps Claiming That The Most Dangerous Cities in America Are All Run by Democrats. They Aren't

Quote:The Washington Post tried to push back on President Donald Trump’s claim that the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats – but the graph provided largely proved Trump’s point.

Quote:The article, however, did not provide a single city run by a Republican in the top 20 most violent cities per capita. According to data WaPo gathered to disprove Trump, 19 of the 20 cities with the most violent crime per 10,000 residents are run by Democrats. The lone city on the per capita list not run by a Democrat is run by an Independent.
..................
“Most of the current mayors of these cities are Democrats,” WaPo admitted. “Two of the mayors of cities with the most reported violent crimes overall, though, are independents and one, the mayor of Jacksonville, Fla., is a Republican. Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn’t a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.”

WaPo’s article continued on to try and explain why most of the violent cities are run by Democrats – after trying to prove that they aren’t.

WaPo was roundly mocked for the analysis following publication.

“So many things wrong with this piece,” National Review writer David Harsanyi tweeted. “Most obvious, headline says, ‘Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t.’ [WaPo national correspondent Philip] Bump finds ONE city run by a Republican.”

Yep, Trump's claim was what Facebook kept flagging.

Their fact checker? That Washington Post Article.

Social media has to pull out all the stops now. If Trump wins they're all likely fuxored.
