Jasmine Crockett’s False Crime Claim: The Dangers of Racial Misinformation

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) falsely claims 80% of the most violent crimes in this country are from white supremacists. Race is being weaponized to manipulate public perception and destabilize government systems. False crime statistics fuel division, erode trust, and justify increased government control. These tactics mirror the Cloward-Piven Strategy, using misinformation to incite unrest and push for radical systemic change.

No, the claim that 80% of violent crimes in the U.S. are committed by white supremacists is false and not supported by crime data. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crimes—such as homicide, assault, and robbery—are committed by individuals from various backgrounds, with no evidence suggesting that white supremacists account for anywhere near 80% of such offenses.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other organizations tracking extremist-related crimes report that white supremacist groups are responsible for some acts of political violence, but these incidents make up only a fraction of total violent crime in the U.S. The majority of violent crimes are not ideologically motivated at all but are instead linked to factors like gang activity, drug-related offenses, and personal disputes.
