You know what people really love? When someone tells them the things they see with their own eyes are false.

In New York City, there’s a crime problem on the subway. Two weeks ago, a woman was killed by being set on fire. Shortly thereafter, a man was pushed in front of a moving subway train (he miraculously survived), and a serial stabber with 87 prior arrests was nabbed AGAIN after stabbing more people.

But the MTA boss wants you to know this is all in your head.

More from The New York Post:

MTA chair and CEO Janno Lieber brushed off subway crime as “in people’s heads” as congestion pricing launched Monday — forcing more New Yorkers into the plagued public transit system.

Lieber skirted around concerns over safety on the subways during a Monday morning interview on “Bloomberg Surveillance,” telling listeners: “Some of these high-profile incidents, you know, terrible attacks have gotten in people’s heads and made the whole system feel unsafe.”

“The overall stats are positive. Last year we were actually at 12 and a half percent less crime than 2019, the last year before COVID,” Lieber said.

The stats don’t matter when people’s perception is telling them the opposite.

And given the creative way the Left does and doesn’t count crimes, we don’t buy those lowered stats to begin with, anyway.

If you intervene to stop this or say anything, you’ll end up getting the Daniel Penny treatment.

If a doctor said this to a patient suffering pain, or a boyfriend said it to his girlfriend, people would be calling this the abuse that it is.

Because the reality is very, very bad for them.

We see what you did there.

Every politician and public figure who says the subway is fine should be mandated to ride it. Without a security detail.

They really do think we’re stupid.

The Left likes that the inmates control the asylum.

Like all Lefties, Lieber is insulated from the disastrous results of his policies and incompetence.

The only proper response to this is to ignore those lying leaders.
