The rise in violent crime is a hot talking point for political pundits. On Tuesday, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton tore into “The View” co-host Joy Behar who said crime has decreased under President Joe Biden.
“I would like to remind people that it was not the Democrats who stormed the government that day and tried to kill the vice president,” Behar said. “The Republicans just talk about crime, crime, crime.”
Behar said after researching the topic, she discovered murders in major cities have fallen by four percent in 2022.
“Nobody wants to hear that crime is down in New York City,” said Sexton. “Nobody wants to admit that the crown jewel of their state has a massive crime problem. Our side wants this to stop in all cases.”
“The argument they make now is that increasing crime is all in your head,” Travis said. “That’s what the dumbest person on television, Joy Behar, said to her audience on The View earlier today.”
“I don’t know what city she (Behar) is citing,” added Travis. “I also question anyone who works on Joy Behar’s research staff.”
