every democrat in the senate voted for it, and it s officially on the record against defunding the police thanks to tommy tuberville. that was a nice pivot. i think that senator booker s his tongue was firmly in his cheek there as he delivered that oration. listen, this has been and ron s written about it. we ve all talked and written about it. this has been an ongoing meme of the republican party that democrats want to defund police. and he s probably right. i don t think there s a senator on the floor of that united states senate who has said that or who believes that. but, look, don, they think they ve got an issue. the republicans think they have a winning issue because we have a crime issue. i m sitting here in the city of chicago. we had a horrific weekend in the city of crime and violence and death, including the death of a young police officer.
