As New York Magazine explained, former Fox News host and current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has threatened to withhold federal funds from the MTA unless it explains its crime-reduction plans by March 31. However, “Much of the information that Duffy is requesting is already publicly available through the NYPD… as well as through the MTA,” New York noted.
Oh.
Also, “Recent statistics don’t appear to support Duffy’s contention of a transit system out of control. Earlier this month, the NYPD reported a 15 percent decrease in subway crime in February compared to the previous year. That figure follows a reported steep 36.4 percent drop in January,” New York reported.
Instead of telling their viewers the truth, Fox & Friends helped further the propaganda lies coming from Dear Leader and their former colleague.
“Secretary, New York City, where we’re at right now, used to be the envy of the world, but crime is out of control, and a lot of it is on the subways,” Cohost Lawrence Jones misled.
Cohost Brian Kilmeade piled on the BS: “At least give us the stats!” he said.
