RNC: Democrats Are Still Defunding--Not Defending--The Police

 

Yesterday, 173 Democrats voted against a resolution honoring the sacrifices and service of the brave men and women in law enforcement who work every day to protect our communities. Democrats on the ballot this cycle have made it clear that they do not stand with police officers: Arizona Congressional Candidate JoAnna Mendoza says she would defund police: "I support the reallocation of funding..."  Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted against supporting police Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner: Police who refused to kneel with Black Lives Matter rioters are "thin blue line trash." Michigan Senate Candidate Mallory McMorrow proudly backed violent rioters who assaulted police officers. Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed called to defund the police. Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens voted against supporting police. Nebraska Senate Candidate Dan Osborn's campaign team called to defund police and reshared posts slandering law enforcement officers with severed pig heads. New Mexico Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez says he’s committed to defunding police: If we do have to take budget away from...whether it be police…we need to get rid of them. Nevada Rep. Dina Titus voted against supporting police New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander voted against supporting police New Jersey Rep. Nellie Pou voted against supporting police New York Rep. Pat Ryan voted against supporting police North Carolina Senate Candidate Roy Cooper overturned the hard work of police officers by releasing over 3,500 criminals early. Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico: Police officers fuel a “culture of violence.”  Virginia Rep. Eugene Vindman voted against supporting the police. Democrats have strayed so far away from reality in their efforts to appease their far-Left base, they are no longer serving in the best interest of American safety.
