Biden embedded "defund the police" in his admin

On “defund the police,” Biden is a hypocrite.

As Americans witness a spike in violent crime, Democrats’ anti-police efforts are to blame.

Biden claims to not support the “defund the police” movement, but he has given “defund the police” activists powerful positions in his administration:

• 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."
• As Boston Mayor, Biden’s Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh proposed a budget to divert funding from law enforcement.
• Biden’s Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke supported efforts to “defund the police.”
• Biden even gave his adviser’s son, who promoted “defund the police,” a top Treasury job.

And let’s not forget Vice President Kamala Harris, who:

• Claimed it’s “outdated” and “wrongheaded” to think more police makes communities safer.
• Called for a lower police presence “to reimagine public safety.”
• Applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for defunding the police.
• Slandered police by agreeing they “just harass and take up space in poor communities.”
• Helped raise bail money for violent protesters in Minnesota supporting the “defund the police” movement.

If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw

There’s a reason numerous police groups loudly opposed Biden during the campaign – they knew he would not have their backs.

And indeed, the “defund the police” advocates he’s empowered have influenced his policies. Under Biden’s proposed FY22 budget, total federal grants to state and local governments from the Justice Department will be cut by $2 billion.                                                                  

If Biden truly wants to stem the rise in crime, he could start by standing with the officers working to keep us safe and condemn the radical Democrats, including those in his own administration, who support defunding the police.

But he won’t, because in the end, Biden always puts far-left special interest groups ahead of the safety of the American people.
