Throughout last summer, we saw tons of people screaming about defunding the police. When the election came around, those same people voted for the current occupant of the White House.
President Joe Biden was more than happy to take their votes. However, now that public perception has turned against defunding law enforcement, the president is in a bind. It’s been his party calling for this. How can he keep from losing both chambers of Congress in the midterms?
Well, it seems their plan is, surprise surprise, to blame Republicans.
The White House is responding to relentless Republican charges that it wants to “defund the police” by embracing the message that there are, in fact, politicians angling to starve law enforcement of needed money: congressional Republicans.
