Study debunks ‘red state murder’ claim from Hillary Clinton, Democrats

A study by the Heritage Foundation found local Democratic officials and Soros-backed prosecutors are responsible for the rising violent crime rates in otherwise red states.

Authors of the study, Charles Stimson, Zack Smith and Kevin D. Dayaratna, concluded, "Whether a state as a whole voted for Donald Trump or Joe Biden has nothing whatever to do with the homicide rates within its constituent parts." Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"The high murder rate is almost exclusively cabined in cities run by Democrats and with Democrat district attorneys, many of whom are Soros bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors or inspired by Soros, groups like the egregiously misnamed Fair and Just Prosecution and other battering rams of the movement," they wrote.
