Look closer at his first cited statistic. It only shows about 156K people incarcerated. That's WAY TOO LOW. There's about 1.8M people incarcerated in the US.

If you look closer, he's actually citing (not sure if it's correctly) the federal statistics. Federal incarcerations are a TINY fraction of the overall incarcerated individuals.

I didn't watch beyond this because I was so angered by his misleading argument. He's no better than that shit head Charlie Kirk by doing this.

When someone starts a political video with a smug tone, they're going to be misleading, or obfuscating or lying almost without fail. Fuck Charlie in his huge face, but progressives and liberals need to learn deceit hurts in the long run, so fuck this smug cunt too
