The Left’s propaganda machine Funny or Die is back with another video featuring Vice President Joe Biden going undercover at a frat party to tell everyone to stop sexual assaulting each other.
With the help of comedian/actor Adam Devine, the two crash the party, pop off a few "jokes," stop the music, reveal their “true” identities, and unleash a barrage of debunked statistics on campus sexual assault.
“Our message is serious,” Biden states. “One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted by the time they leave college, and we can all work together to change that.”
“It’s on all of us to change the culture and prevent sexual assault,” Biden added.
Their message continues, telling college students to intervene if a friend is too drunk to consent or if someone is taking advantage of somebody that is. The effort is all part of the It’s On Us pledge.
But a Justice Department report debunks the statistics Biden gives in the video, showing that non-students are 25% more likely to be victims of sexual assault than students. And the numbers for on-campus sexual assaults are very different in reality, as noted at The Federalist:
The full study, which was published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a division within DOJ, found that rather than one in five female college students becoming victims of sexual assault, the actual rate is 6.1 per 1,000 students, or 0.61 percent (instead of 1-in-5, the real number is 0.03-in-5). For non-students, the rate of sexual assault is 7.6 per 1,000 people.
The higher rate of victimization among non-students is important due in large part to recent accusations that U.S. colleges and universities are hotbeds of so-called “rape culture,” where sexual assault is endemic, and administrators and other students are happy to look the other way. The bogus “1 in 5” statistic, which was the product of a highly suspect survey of only two universities and which paid respondents for their answers, has repeatedly been used as evidence of this pervasive rape culture on college campuses across the country.
Preventing rape and being responsible young adults is a worthy goal and should be encouraged and practiced by all, but creating a crisis that doesn't exist with help straight from the White House is doing more harm than good.
