Since then, the word “crime” has appeared in 29% of Republican political ads, up from 12% in July, Media Matters said, citing reporting from the Washington Post. Blake Masters – a past Carlson guest and Republican Senate candidate in Arizona – last week derided the Democrats as “the party of crime”. Media Matters also said that Carlson and Republicans have echoed each other before. The analysis also found that Republican candidates have not clearly outlined what federal-level policies they would adopt to drive down crime. A spokesperson for New York City-based Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Media Matters analysis.
