Pegasus Reporters Issues on the Wing
‘Venezuela has not gotten rid of all of them. They’ve gotten rid of about 70 percent of their really bad people,’ he told Musk. ‘Their jails are about 50 percent, put into the United States. Same with other countries, over 30 percent. Some are at 50 percent. They’re all different. But the bottom line is they’re all going to be 100 percent. Why wouldn’t you put 100 percent of it?’

PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | AUGUST 19, 2024
Donald Trump suggested during his interview with Elon Musk that he could flee to Venezuela if he loses the election, because it is ‘far safer’ than the United States.
During a two-hour conversation with the tech mogul on X’s Spaces, the former president said the South American nation is “emptying out” its prisons and sending murderers and rapists to the southern border.
“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it’ll be a far safer place to meet than our country.
Responding Musk replied: ‘OK, so we’ll go. You and I will go, and we’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela’.
Trump said that Venezuela crime is down 72 per cent. The former president said ‘drug dealers’, ‘murderers’, ‘rapists’ and other violent criminals are being released from prison.
‘Venezuela has not gotten rid of all of them. They’ve gotten rid of about 70 percent of their really bad people,’ he told Musk. ‘Their jails are about 50 percent, put into the United States. Same with other countries, over 30 percent. Some are at 50 percent. They’re all different.
‘But the bottom line is they’re all going to be 100 percent. Why wouldn’t you put 100 percent of it?’
‘Their crime rate is coming down and our crime rate is going through the roof. And it’s so simple,’ he said.
‘You haven’t seen anything yet because these people have come into our country and they’re just getting acclimated and they don’t know about being politically correct, law enforcement or lack of law enforcement and our police.’
Donald Trump has repeatedly alleged that other countries are sending criminals across the border, resulting in an uptick in American crime rates.
Studies have shown immigrants, including those in the US illegally, do not commit crimes at a higher rate than native-born Americans.
Trump claimed that New York City has become ‘overwhelmed’ with illegal immigration, citing a rape and a stabbing that had occurred over the weekend.
‘I saw it today in New York, where somebody was knifed, where they raped the girlfriend of a man that stood there watching in New York in one of the shelters and started pulling out the knives,’ he told Musk.
