This morning, just after 8 AM, Morning Joe Scarborough showed a tweet from Governor Newsom. It said crime is 400 percent higher in some red state than in some blue state, I don't remember which states.
Paraphrasing the tweet, Scarborough said crime is 400 times higher in the red state.
400 percent higher means 4 times higher. Not 400 times.
It probably wasn't on purpose. He probably doesn't know. It's math stuff. But really, Joe, get it right!
I googled the tweet for details:
The states are Louisiana and California. And it's not the "crime" rate, it's the murder rate. But the politics of it is not my point.
