- US counties where President Donald Trump held a campaign rally saw a 226% increase in reported hate crimes compared to similar counties that did not hold a rally, political scientists at the University of North Texas said in a Washington Post analysis.
- The scientists found that Trump's statements during the 2016 campaign "may encourage hate crimes" in the respective counties.
- The study measured the correlation between counties that hosted a campaign rally and the crime rates in the months that followed.
- Hate crimes in the US reportedly increased 17% in 2017 compared to the previous year, according to an annual FBI report published in November 2018.
