The Biden Admin And House Dems Support Defunding The Police

Washington, DC, June 29, 2021

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to rewrite history yesterday when she claimed that Republicans and not Democrats supported defunding the police. This is a desperate attempt to distract from the Democrats’ dangerous crime crisis across America. President Biden famously expressed support for the Defund the Police movement during an interview in 2020 but was forced to walk back his position after public backlash to his position. Despite this, the Biden Administration is still littered with supporters of the Defund The Police movement. DEFUND THE POLICE ADVOCATES IN THE BIDEAN ADMINISTRATION:

Vice President Kamala Harris applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for defunding the police.
- Homicides are UP 22% in Los Angeles, compared to the same time period in 2020.
- Shootings are UP 51% in Los Angeles, compared to the same time period in 2020.
President Biden's Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke supported efforts to "defund the police."
President Biden's Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said officials must heed calls to "decrease police budgets and the scope, role, and responsibility of police in our lives."
President Biden's Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh, proposed a budget to divert funding from law enforcement.

So why is the White House Press Secretary trying to mislead people? It’s simple: the Biden Administration knows that Democrats in the House lost support in 2020 because Democrats supported Defunding the Police and now they are trying to rewrite history because their far-left anti-police agenda has led to a crime crisis.
