Joe Biden diverged Monday from activists pushing to “defund the police” in the United States, arguing that an overhaul of policing in America can be accomplished within existing law enforcement agencies.
A Biden presidential campaign aide said the Democrat “hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change” after George Floyd’s death by police in Minneapolis refocused the nation’s attention on institutional racism. But spokesman Andrew Bates added that Biden “does not believe that police should be defunded,” as some Minneapolis authorities are pursuing locally and some activists are demanding nationally.

A bunch of clowns!
Joe was unable to respond himself. When asked is he supported de-funding the police he said yes I believe in having fun and saying please.

Anyone inquiring where he is in between his infrequent appearances?

I trust this as much as “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
Joe Bimentia will have no say in “his” Administration. He would be the “Weekend at Biden’s” President. In all probability he would accidentally self strangulate with all the puppet strings.
The man with dementia has more than sense than his young and healthy deranged colleagues.
but his campaign advisor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does want the police abolished. Will Biden be replaced with a total lunatic after this?
He’s done.
