Sorry, but like yourself and your posts Gym pulled his 'stats' from his ass. You gotta be sore back there by now. When it feels better pound some sand up there.

Which sources did Jim Jordan cite for those percentage claims?

Jordan did not publicly cite any source for those percentage claims, and none is shown in the posts themselves.[1][2]

## What appears in his posts

- The X and Facebook posts contain the bare claim “Memphis crime stats: Murders – DOWN 50% Assault – DOWN 40% Robbery – DOWN 60% President Trump promised to clean up Democrat-run cities” with no link, footnote, or attribution to any dataset, agency, or report.[2][3][4][1]

- Commenters on his Facebook page explicitly ask what the sources are for these numbers, and there is no visible reply from his account providing a source or methodology.[5]

## Likely implication Likely? Take a conclusion to the fucking bank!

- In the absence of any cited data in his posts or follow-up explanations, the figures should be treated as unsupported political messaging rather than transparent, documented statistics.[3][1][2][5]

Memphis crime stats:

Murders - DOWN 50%
Assault - DOWN 40%
Robbery - DOWN 60%

President Trump promised to clean up Democrat-run cities.

He’s doing just that.
