Minneapolis Democrats were cheerleading the Black Lives Matter call to defund the police across the nation and now that crime has surged within the city, they’re not denying they had any involvement in it at all.
According to Fox News, two Minneapolis City Council Members are proclaiming that they had no involvement in the “defund the police” movement days after they voted to shift around $8 million from the city’s police budget after they themselves called for its dismantling:
City Council Member Steve Fletcher rejected the idea that the council’s goal was to defund the police during a recent interview with local news station KSTP-TV – and instead said the budget cuts came as a result of the need to fund other programs.
