Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates than Democratic ones: study

[Person of Interest]

“We’re seeing murders in our cities, all Democrat-run,” former President Donald Trump asserted at a March 26 rally in Georgia. “People are afraid to go out.”

2. The problem with this...

...empirical data is this:
