Poor Kevin D. Williamson, the National Review’s “roving correspondent”! He tries to do good, but he just can’t help lying his damn ass off whenever he comes near a Democrat. Kevie D. has a post up at the NR, telling Ted Cruz that a lot of decent folks live in New York City, and maybe he shouldn’t be trashing someone just because he might eat a bagel and ride the C train. Which is mighty decent of him, but Kevin just can’t stay on the high road for more than about eleven column inches. When he comes to the end of his rap, he lays this one on us: “New York City is sliding back into pre-Giuliani chaos.”
Uh, Kevin, you lying sack of shit, crime in the Big Apple declined slightly in 2015, and assaults on police officers declined sharply. And, as for that “pre-Giuliani chaos,” crime rates reached their recent peak in the late nineteen eighties and began to decline in 1990, when the now endlessly reviled David Dinkins took office, continuing their decline throughout his term.
