- Speaking at a rally on Saturday for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as she faces off against Republican challenger Tudor Dixon in the midterms, former President Barack Obama said that the historic rise in crime the country is facing under the Biden administration is the fault of Republicans and former President Donald Trump.
- “You hear the Republicans talking a lot about crime, right?” Obama said.
- “Violent crime has gone up over the last seven years by the way, they act like it just happened just last year like the previous president wasn’t there, and by the way, it didn’t just happen in so-called blue states, it has gone up and in conservative rule states too.”
