In a video posted by Mark Kaye on June 30 of last year, he begins by wryly assuring his viewers that he’s not making up the insanity he’s about to expose. His subject is an article in The Washington Post written by one Philip Bump whose headline declares: “Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats. They aren’t.”
Bump’s article includes a graph listing the top 20 most violent cities in the States ranked on a per capita basis. Bizarrely, incredibly, 19 of those cities were governed by Democratic mayors, the 20th by an independent! No city with a Republican mayor made his list!
Kaye then proceeds to post a second graph citing the top 20 U.S. cities given to violent crime rated by sheer volume. Of these, 17 were run by Democrats, 2 by independents, and 1, Jacksonville, Florida, by a Republican.
The issue Kaye would seem to be highlighting is the literal insanity of a major “liberal” American newspaper so ideologically biased, so consumed by hatred for one man, that it would publish an article whose substance in fact disproved the very thesis of its headline!
