That's a bald faced lie. I pointed to the Swedish government statistics that show a 70% increase as reported in Ami's interview with Tucker Carlson, which has been posted here.

That you choose to ignore or disbelieve facts laid right before your eyes is not my problem. It's yours.

If that's the case, could also be that simply more people are now reporting sexual assaults and not because there has actually been a rise?
Wow, people can certainly find some creative ways to explain away things they don't wish to deal with. These are the same people who like to make the claim that "Muslims want the same things you and I want." No. The don't. Their culture is entirely different. They don't want what we have. They don't want freedom, and in fact think that freedom is one of the evils of Western culture. Their values are not our values, and it's time for some of you to come out of your "safe space," and acknowledge the world around you is not Shangri-la. There are evil people in the world that want you dead.

Seeing that report on Friday shows the problems Sweden is having.

Watch the clip of what Trump said with the context that he saw the report Friday.
Yea, like you don't care what other countries are doing.

If you doubt that Sweden is hushing this up...


https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5195/sweden-rape


"This month, all major Swedish media reported on a brutal gang rape on board the Finnish Ferry Amorella, running between Stockholm and Ã…bo in Finland. Big headlines told the readers that the perpetrators were Swedish:
  • "Several Swedish Men Suspected of Rape on the Finland Ferry" (Dagens Nyheter).
  • "Six Swedish Men Raped Woman in Cabin" (Aftonbladet).
  • "Six Swedes Arrested for Rape on Ferry" (Expressen).
  • "Eight Swedes Suspected of Rape on Ferry" (TT – the Swedish News Agency).
On closer inspection, it turned out that seven of the eight suspects were Somalis and one was Iraqi. None of them had Swedish citizenship, so they were not even Swedish in that sense. According to witnesses, the group of men had been scouring the ferry looking for sex. The police released four of them (but they are still suspects) whereas four (all Somalis) remain in custody."

A youtube video is not a source of statistics
