A friend of mine told me that Trump claimed that 80 percent of all white homicide victims were killed by black people but I don't see anything in the news about it. Surely my friend is mistaken and he didn't say anything that egregiously stupid did he?

He tweeted an image with grossly wrong and false statistics.

(I believe the actual statistics is Black on white homocide is 14%. Most murders are intraracial (you are more likely to be murdered by a person of your race[and by someone you actually know]).

*edit-- update statistic in the article says 15% in 2015. I was recalling the one from 2011.

I flipped to Fox right when it was called.

Megyn Kelly marching down to the nerd box to find out why the election was called was loving primo TV.

I watch that scene from time to time on Youtube. It made Megyn Kelly look like an assistant instead of a journalist when Karl Rove pretty much demanded it-- and you can hear how unhappy she is about it in her tone of voice when she starts the long walk. They do not send the man next to her, they send Megyn. You think Bill O'Reilly would have done that? Hell no. He would have had the stats people sent to stand before him.

It was insane.

Here is the link I watch in case anyone wants to watch their reaction to the call:

her walk starts around 4 minutes in, but I like watching Rove's meltdown before it.
