The Washington Post tried to push back on President Donald Trump's claim that the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats - but the graph provided largely proved Trump's point.
Trump said Wednesday that "Every one" of America's "20 most dangerous" cities "Are Democrat run." WaPo's analysis headline wrote that "Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren't."
The article did not provide a single city run by a Republican in the top 20 most violent cities per capita.
"Two of the mayors of cities with the most reported violent crimes overall are independents and one, the mayor of Jacksonville, Fla., is a Republican. Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn't a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.".
"Cities generally have more crime than suburban and rural areas," according to the article, which added "That cities tend to be heavily Democratic."
"Most obvious, headline says, 'Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren't.' Bump finds ONE city run by a Republican."
