In a sad and desperate move, Democrats recently tried to accuse Republicans of trying to defund the police. Even the Washington Post laughed them out of town.

FNC: “The largest House conservative caucus on Friday released a mash-up video of the many times progressives have called for defunding the police to push back on Democrats’ latest efforts to accuse the GOP of being the party that wants to cut law enforcement funds.

The Republican Study Committee first shared with Fox News its nearly 1-minute compilation video of numerous instances where Democrats demanded to strip police departments of funding and to invest the money instead into communities of color and fighting systematic racism.

Set to the orchestral music of ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King,’ the video features comments from the progressive Squad members and allies, like Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri. The video shows a series of tweets and headlines where the left-wing politicians have called for defunding the police and abolishing ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Why the video? In a new twist, Democrats are trying to turn the tables and accuse Republicans of being anti-police, starting with failing to back a Jan. 6 independent commission and opposing $1.9 billion to boost Capitol security and fund the police officers. Recently at the White House, Biden adviser Cedric Richmond and press secretary Jen Psaki accused Republicans of defunding the police because they voted against Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, even though it included $350 billion for state and local governments that could be used for local police.”
Even the leftist Washington Post’s Fact-Checker hit the White House for insisting Republicans were “defunding the police.” He gave them “Three Pinocchios.” That must not have played well at all in the West Wing.

“Although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That’s not a reduction,” The Post’s Salvador Rizzo wrote.
Republicans offered details on the video. “We looked for an example of a Republican official calling for defunding or ‘reimagining’ police, but couldn’t find anything,” a GOP website says in introducing the Democrat quote recaps. “Democrats can’t say the same – in fact, here are over two dozen examples of when they have.”
