From today’s Heather Cox Richardson e-newsletter:
Florida governor Ron DeSantis traveled this week to New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago to insist those Democratic-led cities were crime-ridden, although as human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid pointed out, Florida has a 19% higher rape rate, 66% higher murder rate, and 280% higher burglary rate than New York.
No matter. He’s telling his base what they want to hear. (Also, FWIW, rape cases require the victim to report, and as a victim, if you don’t think anything good will come of reporting, you may not do it).
Mr645, I am curious what is your opinion about this. Thanks
