Meghan McCain claims push to 'defund the police' is helping Trump reelection bid

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain warned on Tuesday that Democrats were hurting their party's electoral prospects by countenancing the idea that local governments should "defund the police" after George Floyd's death.

"If you're explaining, you're losing and there's a lot of explaining going on on this," McCain said. "... If you mean reform, say 'reform.' If you mean defund, say 'defund.' People are confused."

McCain noted that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., had called for the dismantling of the Minneapolis police department, which employed the officer who knelt on Floyd's neck for more than 8 minutes on May 25. Floyd died soon after and the former officer, Kenneth Chauvin, faces murder charges.

"Listen, you guys can spin and say everything you want," she told her fellow "View" co-hosts. "I know that politics at the end of the day, unfortunately, is real simple and it is about slogans. And 'defund the police' is a great one for the Trump campaign."

All this “brutality” nonsense will help Trump.
Unless the media can dishonestly make it “stick”.

She would be right about this. Let the fascists keep up the self-immolation. It is sweet to see them burn.

well, for sure, if the Republicans have any gumption (i know), they will hang this around every Democrat politician’s neck from now until November.

I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, but I wish she would shut her chocolate cake hole and stop giving democrats any helpful tips.

She’s not totally stupid maybe and I think she has a point. Blacks suffer under a lot of crime pressure in the cities. Holding all these riots with no social distancing is opening the door for large crowd gatherings ala Trump rallies. I think the DEMS are dancing on a land mine.

She is probably right. But I get the feeling she really is trying to give the dems helpful advice. I’m not 100% sure she wants Trump re-elected.

Probably a cheese steak with a side of ice cream.

I think Republicans needs to talk about how law enforcement helps protect battered women and child abuse victims. We need to humanize it.

Except Joe is using it for a BS reasoned centrist move. He and most of the top rats are quickly distancing themselves from it. The polling is overwhelmingly against it.

We’ll see in November how many will vote for their own rape and murder.

I said on this forum a few days ago, arguing with fellow Freepers

Let these MFers self destruct. They will if we let them.
