'Won't see on Fox News': California Gov. Gavin Newsom takes aim at Dallas murder rate, comparing it to L.A.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's press office posted an image on X, comparing Los Angeles' and Dallas' murder rates based on FBI crime data.

"Dallas' murder rate is nearly 2x higher than Los Angeles'," the post read. "Don't expect Fox News to report that."

The FBI data lists LA's murder rate as 6.95 per 100,000 residents and Dallas' at 13.62. Newsom's posts also took aim at Houston, comparing San Francisco's 35 murders in 2024 to the Texas city's 322.

Texas wasn't alone in drawing criticism from Newsom. The account also posted crime comparisons to cities like Memphis, St. Louis and Tampa, and Republican-run states like Arkansas and Louisiana.
