There probably isn't rise in racial crime. It's been going on for a while, but it isn't worse than before.
Trump did actually say something about it, a few hours before your post.

Federalism gives states a lot of options.
Florida and Texas make the top ten because the populatons are so big.
If you look at deaths per million, the numbers are better for red states.
1. New York
2. New Jersey
3. Connecticut
4. Massachusetts (blue state with Republican Governor)
5. DC
6. Rhode Island
7. Louisiana (Trump state with Democratic Governor)
8. Michigan (Trump state with Democratic Governor)
9. Pennsylvania (Trump state with Democratic Governor)
10. Illinois
11. Maryland (blue state with Republican Governor)
By that metric, California is also doing relatively well.
I'll note that it's probably more about population density and luck than whether Democrats are in charge, but I can understand pushback from conservatives after months of speculation that their local policies are going to result in death and mayhem, when the worst-hit states aren't the red states.
