The Complete and Utter Hypocrisy of Kevin Drum

Reading this: Crime Didn’t Drop In New York City Because of CompStat, reminded me of Kevin Drum's complete and utter hypocrisy.

He makes the good point that the follow graph shows that crime began dropping well before NYC implemented a new computerized crime-tracking system.


However, he has many times claimed that James Comey's letter handed the 2016 election to Trump over Clinton, never acknowledging that Clinton began dropping in the polls well before the letter was released:


You can look at the original here: NY Times: A 2016 Review: There’s Reason to Be Skeptical of a Comey Effect.  I've posted this countless times on his site, but Drum hasn't acknowledged.  He's continued to repeat periodically that Trump won because of Comey.  (He's also blamed the Russians and Bernie Sanders, never acknowledged that he and other recipients of vast quantities of  Clinton campaign cash may bear some responsibility.)
